The bi-exponential intravoxel-incoherent-motion (IVIM) model for diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) fails to account for differential T 2 s in the model compartments, resulting in overestimation of pseudodiffusion fraction f. An extended model, T2-IVIM, allows removal of the confounding echo-time (TE) dependence of f, and provides direct compartment T 2 estimates. Two consented healthy volunteer coho...

To evaluate the capability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the detection and characterization of alterations in signal intensity and T2 relaxation time in acutely infarcted relative to normal myocardium 16 adult patients and normal volunteers were studied by electrocardiographically gated proton MRI. The seven volunteers were entirely asymptomatic and had no history of cardiovascular abn...

Central thyroid hormone signaling is important in brain function/dysfunction, including affective disorders and depression. In contrast to 3,3',5-triiodo-L-thyronine (T3), the role of 3,5-diiodo-L-thyronine (T2), which until recently was considered an inactive metabolite of T3, has not been studied in these pathologies. However, both T3 and T2 stimulate mitochondrial respiration, a factor count...

PURPOSE Evaluation of nonenhancing tumor (NET) burden is an important yet challenging part of brain tumor response assessment. This study focuses on using dual-echo turbo spin-echo MRI as a means of quickly estimating tissue T2, which can be used to objectively define NET burden. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN A series of experiments were performed to establish the use of T2 maps for defining NET burden...

Fatty acid content from virgin coconut oil (VCO) is a medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) group. MCT stable at very low and high temperatures, the color does not turn black due to addition of heat so that it can be developed into beneficial cooking for health. Therefore, study was conducted on fatty acids in VCO after being heated temperatures 150, 200, 250°C 60 minutes. Analysis control VCO(T0), w...

This study was conducted with the aim of showing effect injecting D-Aspartic acid on characteristics semen, for Period 15/7/2021 until 15/10/2021 in animal farm/ Ruminant Hall Animal Production Department /College Agriculture / University Diyala. include 12 male Shami goat aged (1-1.3) years, an average weight (35-38) kg, were divided randomly to four equal groups (3/ group): first a control gr...

We investigate the problem of automatically labelling appearances of characters in TV or film material. This is tremendously challenging due to the huge variation in imaged appearance of each character and the weakness and ambiguity of available annotation. However, we demonstrate that high precision can be achieved by combining multiple sources of information, both visual and textual. The prin...
