The reproducibility of ultrasound measurements of the pancreas was investigated in 10 healthy volunteers. All subjects underwent three different evaluations, each consisting of three ultrasound examinations, at 8:OO after overnight fasting, at 12:OO after a solid, standard meal, and at 14:OO. The lo

Abstract
In the past few years, sophisticated ultrasound systems specifically designed for the evaluation of superficial organs and structures have been developed. These βhighβresolutionβ scanners are particularly well suited to diagnostic imaging in the neck. This review summarizes current clinical applications of this evolving technology and highlights initial experience with a prototype scanner that is now commercially available. Particular attention is directed to highβresolution ultrasonography of the thyroid and parathyroid glands, the extracranial carotid arteries, and neoplastic and inflammatory masses of the neck.

## Abstract We have measured the __T__~2~\* signal response associated with cortical activation due to finger motion at 1.5 Tesla. Both thin slice 2D and 3D images show signal intensity changes which vary from 2% to 32% depending on volunteer, echo time, slice thickness, and inβplane resolution. Th
