Small animal magnetic resonance microscopy (MRM) has evolved significantly from testing
the boundaries of imaging physics to its expanding use today as a tool in noninvasive …

The aim of this study was to measure apparent diffusion coefficients in rat brain tissue
exposed to ouabain, glutamate, and N-methyl-D-aspartate and to compare them with …

Effective pulmonary gas exchange relies on the free diffusion of gases across the thin tissue
barrier separating airspace from the capillary red blood cells (RBCs). Pulmonary …

OBJECTIVE. The goal of this study was to determine if an iodinated, liposomal contrast
agent could be used for high-resolution, micro-CT of low-contrast, small-size vessels in a …

A method for rapid morphologic phenotyping is demonstrated by using magnetic resonance
microscopy. Whole fixed C57BL/6J mice were imaged at 110-μm isotropic resolution; limited …

In imaging of hyperpolarized noble gases, a knowledge of the diffusion coefficient (D) is
important both as a contrast mechanism and in the design of pulse sequences. We have …

Cu-Diacetyl-bis (N 4-methylthiosemicarbazone)(Cu-ATSM) is a recently developed PET
imaging agent for tumor hypoxia. However, its accuracy and reliability for measuring hypoxia …

This paper investigates the potential of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to improve the
estimation of within-tumor variations in F18-FDG concentration. An image model is …

Purpose: Demonstrate noninvasive imaging methods for in vivo characterization of cardiac
structure and function in mice using a micro-CT system that provides high photon fluence …

Emphysema is a pulmonary disease characterized by alveolar wall destruction, resulting in
enlargement of gas exchange spaces without fibrosis. This condition is a part of chronic …
