Open AccessChanges in magnetic resonance imaging relaxation time on postmortem magnetic resonance imaging of formalin-fixed human normal heart tissue
Postmortem magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used to investigate the cause of death, but due to time constraints, it is not widely applied to the heart. Therefore, MRI analysis of the heart after forma...

Comparison of diagnostic accuracy between [18F]FDG PET/MRI and contrast-enhanced MRI in T staging for oral tongue cancer
Integrated PET/MRI with [18F]FDG is advantageous in that it enables simultaneous PET and MR imaging with higher soft-tissue contrast, multiplanar image acquisition, and functional imaging capability without using...
