People with a history of allergic-like reactions to iodinated contrast media, which is used in a variety of X-ray-based procedures, such as CT and angiography, are susceptible to similar reactions from commonly used MRI contrast agents, according to a large, eight-year study published in the ...
Case presentation: A 76-year-old man with right leg claudication was diagnosed with a right superficial femoral artery occlusion via contrast-enhanced computed tomography. Endovascular treatment included intravascular ultrasound for passing through the true lumen. A 25-cm Viabahn stent-graft (diameter 5...
The linking of macroanions with BF_3OEt_2 leads to a 3-arm star with a boron junction point, which can serve as a macroinitiator for the polyhomologation of dimethylsulfoxonium methylide, thus enabling the synthesis of novel but not "stable" polyethylene (PE)-based 3-arm star block copolym...
employ diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) data to estimate tumor cellularity, mechanical-coupling of the breast tissue properties with tumor growth based on each individual patient's anatomy, and estimates of drug delivery to each voxel via dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE-) MRI [...

Although research has shown that PPC exerts effects on the activity in early visual areas irrespective of eccentricity31, it is reasonable to surmise that any top-down effects may be specifically tied to the detection of peripherally placed stimuli with high salience and contrast that would cause ...
In contrast, although ATO had no significant effect on locomotor behavior when infused into any of the NAcb sub-regions, it did result in a decrease when infused into the IL. The reported effects were unlikely to be mediated by sites distal to the microinjection location because (i) ATO ...
set off, bring out - direct attention to, as if by means of contrast; "This dress accentuates your nice figure!"; "I set off these words by brackets" re-emphasise, re-emphasize - emphasize anew; "The director re-emphasized the need for greater productivity" bear down - pay special att...
(MRI)19,20, ultrasound (US)21,22, computed tomography (CT)13and positron emission tomography (PET)23,24, have afforded individual or multimodal imaging of molecular events. Most of these imaging modalities are hard to synchronously monitor the feedback of multiple dynamic molecular events in ...
In vitro method for prognosis or diagnosis of an allergic reaction, in a patient, to a contrast agent used during imaging techniques in a blood sample obtained from the patient, comprises: (a) contacting the blood sample or a portion of the sample with the contrast agent and incubating; (b...
