Unroofing the diagnosis

Unroofed coronary sinus is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly in which a communication occurs between the coronary sinus and the left atrium due to the partial or complete absence of roof of the coronary sinus....

P846, a new gadolinium based low diffusion magnetic resonance contrast agent, in characterizing occlusive infarcts, reperfused ischemic myocardium and reperfused infarcts in rats

This study has two objectives: (1) to compare the kinetics of low diffusion P846 with Gd-DOTA using inversion recovery echo planar (IR-EPI) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and (2) to determine the potential of...

Scarred myocardium imposes additional burden on remote viable myocardium despite a reduction in the extent of area with late contrast MR enhancement

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can simultaneously detect and quantify myocardial dysfunction and shrinkage in contrast-enhanced areas postinfarction. This ability permits the investigation of our hypothesis ...

Distribution of Intramyocardially injected extracellular MR contrast medium: effects of concentration and volume

The purpose of this study was to assess the potential of intramyocardially injected Gd-DTPA solution as a marker for distribution of intramyocardially delivered therapeutic solutions. The effects of concentrat...

Liver lesion detection: Comparison between excitation-spoiling fat suppression and regular spin-echo at 1.5T

The role of excitation-spoiling fat suppression (fatsat) imaging in the detection of liver lesions was assessed comparing short TR/TE and long TR/ TE spin-echo (SE) sequences with and without excitation-spoili...

Beneficial effects of verapamil during metabolic acidosis in isolated perfused rat hearts

Metabolic acidosis was produced in two groups of isolated, glucose-perfused beating rat hearts. The first group (control) was untreated whereas the second group was pretreated for 48 h by the addition of verap...
