In vivo 1H-MRS of the rat brain with a clinical 3 T whole-body MR Scanner: Estimation of absolute metabolic concentrations and T2 values
In vivo single voxel 1H-MR measurements were performed in a rat’s brain on a clinical whole-body 3 T MR scanner by using a dedicated small animal head RF-coil. Spectroscopic experiments were performed with and wi...

31P-MR spectroscopic imaging in hypertensive heart disease
Hypertensive heart disease (HHD) causes structural changes (e.g., fibrosis) that result in diastolic and systolic myocardial dysfunction. Alterations of 31P metabolism and cardiac energy impairments were assessed...

Estimation of postmortem metabolic changes in porcine brain tissue using 1H-MR spectroscopy—preliminary results
To investigate the potential for estimating the time since death by monitoring the evolution of different metabolites in brain tissue by 1H-MRS, an animal model using pig heads was established. The maximum examin...

Imaging in ureteral complications of renal transplantation: value of static fluid MR urography
Ureteral obstruction is an infrequent complication after renal transplantation that may cause rapid loss of transplant function. We tested static fluid MR urography for determining the cause of graft hydronep...
