Performance Analysis of Different Modified MR Engines Mounts
Increasing current vehicle development trends for small, light, front wheel drive vehicles with low idle speeds have been forced automotive industries to use hydraulic engine mounts for further improvement in vibration, noise and harshness (NVH) performance of the vehicles. However, with the development of modern vehicle designs such as hybrid vehicles and variable engine management systems whi...

متن کاملErgonomic Flexible Drivers for Hepatic MR Elastography
Introduction: Normal liver tissue is soft when assessed by palpation, whereas cirrhotic livers are typically very hard [1]. Liver stiffness is a very sensitive and specific biomarker for staging liver fibrosis in chronic liver disease patients, which has been proved by a number of elastographic techniques such as ultrasound elasticity imaging and Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) [2-6]. Eme...
متن کاملDriver-Free Assessment of Liver Stiffness Using Fast Strain-Encoded (FSENC) MRI
INTRODUCTION: Liver cirrhosis, the last stage of fibrosis, is the sixth leading cause of death in high-income countries [1]. Recent research has shown that liver fibrosis is reversible in early stages [2]. Therefore, there is a need for early detection of liver fibroses. Biopsy is the gold standard for determining fibrotic stage. However, biopsy is subjective to a small liver sample and may be ...
متن کاملMagnetic Resonance Elastography of the Heart
Cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) elastography noninvasively provides mechanics-based image contrast. The measurement of mechanical parameters is otherwise possible only by palpation or invasive pressure measurement. Measurement of parameters of myocardial shear stiffness is considered to be diagnostically beneficial especially in patients with diastolic dysfunction due to diffuse myocardial dise...
