To adapt the space-time adaptive processing (STAP) algorithm, previously developed in the field of sensor array processing and applied to radar signal processing, for use in construction of brain activation maps in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). ⋯ Because STAP processes space-time data as a single data matrix, it exhibits potential over currently available fMRI methods in providing a measure of the full spatiotemporal extent of a task-related activity.

Evaluation of [Gd(Bz-TTDA)]2- as a potential contrast agent in MR imaging of the hepatobiliary system: an animal study.
To evaluate the potential of a new lipophilic paramagnetic complex [Gd(Bz-TTDA)]2- [(4s)-4-benzyl-3,6,10-tri(carboxymethyl)-3,6,10-triazadodecandioic acid]2- designed for use as a hepatobiliary MR contrast agent. ⋯ The preliminary results in this animal study indicated that [Gd(Bz-TTDA)]2- has the potential of becoming a reliable liver MR contrast agent.
