Magnetic resonance imaging of convection in laser-polarized xenon.
We demonstrate nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging of the flow and diffusion of laser-polarized xenon (129Xe) gas undergoing convection above evaporating laser-polarized liquid xenon. The large xenon NMR signal provided by the laser-polarization technique allows more rapid imaging than one can achieve with thermally polarized gas-liquid systems, permitting shorter time-scale events such as...
متن کاملLaser-polarized Noble Gases for Magnetic Resonance Imaging
This paper describes a technique in which noble gases such as 3He and 129Xe are polarized using optical pumping techniques, and used as a source of signal for magnetic resonance imaging. Techniques for polarizing the gas and a few representative examples of clinical applications are presented. Also emphasized is the connection between noble-gas imaging and the use of polarized gaseous targets i...
متن کاملMeasurement of Posterior Tibial Slope Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Background: Posterior tibial slope (PTS) is an important factor in the knee joint biomechanics and one of the bone features, which leads to knee joint stability. Posterior tibial slope affects flexion gap, knee joint stability and posterior femoral rollback that are related to wide range of knee motion. During high tibial osteotomy and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery, proper retaining the...
متن کاملIn vivo microelectrode track reconstruction using magnetic resonance imaging.
To obtain more precise anatomical information about cortical sites of microelectrode recording and microstimulation experiments in alert animals, we have developed a non-invasive, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique for reconstructing microelectrode tracks. We made microelectrode penetrations in the brains of anesthetized rats and marked sites along them by depositing metal, presumably i...
