متن کاملUnenhanced Body MRA: Is it Good Enough?
Contrast-enhanced MR-Angiography (CE-MRA) has evolved into the standard, noninvasive imaging modality for vascular imaging of the body. It allows for high spatial resolution with submilimeter voxel sizes, a large field of view and it can be acquired in 15-25s. It relies on the administration of Gd-based contrast agent of which typically 0.2mmol/kg is administered. At 3.0T, the administered dose...
متن کاملSample size: how many is enough?
Sample size is an element of research design that significantly affects the validity and clinical relevance of the findings identified in research studies. Factors that influence sample size include the effect size, or difference expected between groups or time points, the homogeneity of the study participants, the risk of error that investigators consider acceptable and the rate of participant...
