This study presents a newly developed automatic method for segmentation of myocardium at risk using a priori knowledge on perfusion territories. The new automatic method shows a low bias and high correlation to manual delineation and a bias and correlation closer to inter observer variability for ma
## Abstract ## Purpose To assess interscanner reproducibility of tissue iron measurements in patients with thalassemia using gradient echo T2\* measurements on two different MRI scanners. ## Materials and Methods Twentyβfive patients with thalassemia major had liver and myocardial T2\* assessmen
## Background Inflammation plays a pivotal role in all stages of atherosclerosis. Since edema is known to be an integral part of inflammation, a noninvasive technique that can identify edema in the coronary artery wall may provide unique information regarding plaque activity. In this study, we aime
