Reproducibility of total cerebral blood flow measurements using phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging.
To evaluate reproducibility of total cerebral blood flow (CBF) measurements with phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging (pcMRI). ⋯ The findings of this study demonstrate that pcMRI is a reliable method to measure total CBF in terms of both accuracy and reproducibility.

In vivo magnetic resonance imaging of the human cervical spinal cord at 3 Tesla.
To demonstrate the feasibility of obtaining high-quality magnetic resonance (MR) images of the human cervical spinal cord in vivo at a magnetic field strength of 3 T and to optimize the signal contrast between gray matter, white matter, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) on 2D gradient recalled echo (GRE) images of the cervical spinal cord. ⋯ This study demonstrates that imaging the cervical spinal cord and delineating internal spinal cord structures such as gray and white matter is feasible at 3 T.
