## Abstract ## Purpose To assess the effects of cardiac‐induced brain pulsation on the noise of the diffusion tensor in Turboprop (a form of periodically rotated overlapping parallel lines with enhanced reconstruction [PROPELLER] imaging) diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). ## Materials and Methods
## Abstract As a result of the technical challenges associated with distinguishing the MR signals arising from intracellular and extracellular water, a variety of endogenous and exogenous MR‐detectable molecules and ions have been employed as compartment‐specific reporters of water motion. Although
Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is highly specific for cardiac muscle. In this study, we compared the utility of CK and CK-MB index versus cTnI in the assessment of myocardial infarction in 155 patients being evaluated for myocardial damage. As a cardiac marker for MI, Troponin I seems to be superior to C
The diffusion time dependence of the brain water diffusion tensor provides information regarding diffusion restriction and hindrance but has received little attention, primarily due to limitations in gradient amplitude available on clinical MRI systems, required to achieve short diffusion times. Usi
