All patients received a complete neurological examination, including an extensive manual muscle test scored by the Medical Research Council (MRC) scale evaluating arm abductors, forearm flexors and extensors, finger extensors, hip flexors, tight flexors and extensors, foot flexors and extensors bil...
Great experience at Washington Open MRI. They were right on schedule, polite, and efficient. Had a Brain MRI with contrast and got in and out in less than 45 minutes. Also a great option for anyone who is claustrophobic. MRI was done seated with nothing directly in front of you. You ca...

(D) MRI of the sternoclavicular joints (arrows) shows no inflammation (Post-contrast coronal T1-weighted image). (E) MRI of the foot and ankle shows synovitis in the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint (long arrow) and tibialis posterior tenosynovitis (short arrow) (sagittal STIR image)....
Devitalized tissue occurs almost exclusively in the diabetic foot or in peripheral vascular disease. The authors prefer the umbrella term devitalized tissue to include necrotic or ischemic soft tissue. It can be reliably identified on contrast enhanced MRI as areas of non-enhancing tissue without rim...

To date, it remains unclear how the MRI contrast mechanisms of fresh sclera and cornea tissues may respond dynamically with changing IOP, and whether the magic-angle effect can be applied to the living tissues to differentiate the biological conditions between normotensive and hypertensive eyes in ...
and acoustically quiet during scanning. We designed an effective and simple EMI elimination method to enable MRI scanning without any RF shield or cage. We succeeded in implementing four essential and standard high-field MRI contrast protocols widely used for clinical brain imaging, and demonstrated ...
a foot-foot method. The path length between two slices perpendicular to the aorta is divided by the time difference between the initial upslopes of the two flow curves. b QA-method. Lumen area is plotted as function of flow during the cardiac cycle. PWV is defined as the change in lumen...
