Crossing Chasms: The architectural patterns
This paper is part of a large pattern language (Crossing Chasms) currently under development by Bruce Whitenack of The Object People and myself. The pattern language as a whole addresses the issues faced by teams trying to build large clientserver systems using Object Technology and Relational data stores. This section of Crossing Chasms addresses issues faced by project teams who are just begi...
متن کاملHyperpolarized Gas MRI of the Lungs
The hyperpolarized gases 3 He and 129 Xe are prepared with a magnetization that is 100,000-fold larger than what could be attained by simple thermal equilibrium. This extraordinary magnetization overcomes the low density of these gases and permits them to be imaged with high spatial and temporal resolution. The principles of gas hyperpolarization have been reviewed in a very accessible manner b...
متن کاملDynamics of magnetization in hyperpolarized gas MRI of the lung.
The magnetization in hyperpolarized gas (HP) MRI is generated by laser polarization that is independent of the magnet and imaging process. As a consequence, there is no equilibrium magnetization during the image acquisition. The competing processes of gas inflow and depolarization of the spins lead to large changes in signal as one samples k-space. A model is developed of dynamic changes in pol...
متن کاملHyperpolarized Noble Gas Mri of the Brain and Lungs
INTRODUCTION We are developing a new diagnostic technology: magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy of hyperpolarized noble gases. Large non-equilibrium nuclear spin polarizations can be created in the spin-1/2 noble gases, He and Xe, using the technique of spin-exchange optical pumping. Such large polarizations greatly enhance the magnetic resonance detection of He and Xe, enabling h...
متن کاملHyperpolarized gas MRI illuminates lung function
Historically, hope has been scant for catching any chronic occlusive pulmonary disease, including asthma and emphysema, early enough to treat and reverse, or at least stabilize, the condition. Today, optimism is being renewed that MR imaging with hyperpolarized noble gases will help diagnose lung airway disease at a treatable stage, assist in monitoring therapeutic progress, and help pharmaceut...
