MRI workers are occupationally exposed to static and time-varying gradient magnetic fields.  While the 24-hour time-averaged exposure to static magnetic fields is about a few mT, the maximum static field strength can be as high as 500 mT during patient setup. Over the past several years, our laboratory has performed extensive experiments on the health effects of exposure of animal models and h...

introduction: in radiotherapy, methods of treatment planning are becoming increasingly more complicated. this requires verification of the doses delivered to increasingly smaller and more precise regions. radiotherapy techniques are continuously employing smaller and smaller field sizes to deliver tighter radiation doses with higher therapeutic ratios, generating interest among researchers to p...

conclusion high-resolution mr images of the wrist using 3d t2space, pd blade and t2 blade were superior to those using conventional sequences quantitatively. high-snr and cnr mr imaging with space and blade would be a promising method to diagnose wrist lesions. results snr of the cartilage, tfcc on 3d t2space and t1 fse was better than other sequences (p < 0.001). snr of the bone on pd blade wa...
