Tracking Transplanted Cells by MRI – Methods and Protocols
Fig. 1. This flow chart summarizes the various steps a contrast agent is taken through to ensure that it does not deleteriously affect cellular functions, while at the same time…
Experimental Stroke Research: The Contributions of In Vivo MRI
Fig. 1. Immediately after the onset of a focal loss of perfusion, a cascade of detrimental events is initiated. Excitotoxicity lethally damages neurons and glia, and triggers a number of…
MR Oximetry
where SI n is the signal intensity at each time point, SI0 is the initial signal intensity, and TE is the echo time. One needs to keep the units consistent….
