In the past two decades, research has underlined the potential of ultrasound and microbubbles
to enhance drug delivery. However, there is less consensus on the biophysical and …

Continuous thermometry during a hyperthermic procedure may help to correct for local
differences in heat conduction and energy absorption, and thus allow optimization of the thermal …

Recent developments in the use of magnetic resonance (MR) to measure and image diffusion
and blood microcirculation (“perfusion”) are summarized. After a brief description of the …

When deoxygenated, blood behaves as an effective susceptibility contrast agent. Changes
in brain oxygenation can be monitored using gradient‐echo echo‐planar imaging. With this …

The occlusion of the middle cerebral artery was used as an experimental acute stroke model
in 30 cats. The diffusion of water was followed by diffusion‐sensitized MRI between 1 and …

A fast calculation method for the magnetic field distribution due to (dynamic) changes in
susceptibility may allow real‐time interventional applications. Here it is shown that a direct …

A volumetric sonication method is proposed that produces volume ablations by steering the
focal point along a predetermined trajectory consisting of multiple concentric outward‐…

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a potential paradigm shift in psychiatric
neuroimaging. The technique provides individual, rather than group-averaged, functional …

This study characterizes the diffusion anisotropy of the human kidney using a diffusion‐weighted,
single‐shot echo planar imaging (EPI) sequence in order to access the full apparent …

PURPOSE: To evaluate diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in patients
with cervical spondylosis and/or myelopathy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A multishot echo-…
