Absence of DNA double-strand breaks in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells after 3 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging assessed by γH2AX flow cytometry
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is regarded as a non-harming and non-invasive imaging modality with high tissue contrast and almost no side effects. Compared to other cross-sectional imaging modalities, MRI d...

Left Atrial Segmentation from 3D Respiratory- and ECG-gated Magnetic Resonance Angiography
Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) scans provide excellent chamber and venous anatomy. However, they have traditionally been acquired in breath-hold and are not cardiac-gated. This has made it difficult to u...
