through-plane concomitant field phase accrual, for a phantom (squares no correction, triangles corrected) and human brain (circles no correction, diamonds corrected). Dephasing from concomitant gradient fields leads to error in ADC that increases with distance from isocenter (zS = 10cm-superior; zS = 0cm-inferior). FIG 1. Diffusion gradient timing for StejskalTanner (ST; insensitive to concomit...

Operative correction for infantile and adolescent tibia vara has been described using both external and internal fixation. Gradual correction using a circular fixator offers the advantage of accurate coronal, sagittal, and axial plane correction without significant soft tissue dissection. This study evaluated the use of six-axis deformity analysis and the Taylor Spatial Frame (TSF) for the corr...

BACKGROUND There are limited reports in literature studying the impact of rod diameter and stiffness on the degree of deformity correction in patients with AIS. AIMS The aims of this study were to evaluate the 3-dimentional deformity correction achieved by segmental pedicle screw fixation in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, and to find out if learning or the change to stiffer ro...

the purpose of the this study was to investigate the effect of direct current on montoneuron reflex exitability. thirty six subjects (18 males, 18 females) 19.36 years of age ( x= 24.06, sd= 3.63) participated in this study. the reflex excitability of soleus motoneruons was assessed by measuring the amount of change in the peak to peak ampitude of the h-reflex before and after direct current wa...
