Since MRI scans produce better tissue images than x-rays they are commonly used for imaging the brain and spinal cord. MRI machines are also used for taking images of the thorax and vascular system (blood vessels), and of the musculoskeletal system (including the knee and ankle).About...
Ovarian hormones have substantial effects on the brain, and early menopause has been associated with increased risk of accelerated brain aging and dementia later in life. However, the impact of ovarian hormone fluctuations on brain structure earlier in life is less understood. Here we show that ova...
Strengths: To our knowledge, this is the first study to examine the need for de-facing for MRI scan types beyond T1-w and T2-FLAIR, and it's the first to measure effects of de-facing on brain measurements beyond volume and thickness measurements from T1-weighted images. Typical brain res...
The generated scans were also used to evaluate their impact on the performance of an existing deep learning model developed for segmenting the rat brain into white matter, grey matter and cerebrospinal fluid. The models were compared using the Dice score. The best results for whole brain and ...

MRI studies were performed using a Bruker 7.0 T ClinScan high-field small animal MRI system with a commercial rat coil (Bruker Biospin). In vitro R2 star was performed after coincubation of IONC with/without AA at room temperature for 4 h (The molar ratio of Fe to AA approximately...
(A) Signal path from whisker stimulation to activation in the barrel cortex [(1) trigeminal nerve, brain stem, (2) sensory information to the thalamus, (3) the primary somatosensory barrel cortex (BC)]. (B) Block-design of whisker air-puff stimulation. (C) Widespread cortical BOLD ...
Coronal 2D slices of the brain through the cortex and hippocampus are shown. FIG. 11A depicts results for a TetO/APPswe-ind mouse, 15 months old, wherein APP production was suppressed until 6 weeks of age by doxycycline in diet. FIG. 11B depicts results fix a pre-injection scan of the...
Results Incident symptoms related to working with MRI were reported in 4 % of shifts. Prevalence of MRI-related, but not reference symptoms were associated with number of hours per week working with MRI, shift length, and stress, but not with magnetic field strength (1.5 and 3 T) or ...
