Detection of pulmonary embolism with free-breathing dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI.
To evaluate the use of dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during free breathing for the detection of acute pulmonary embolism (PE). ⋯ Free-breathing DCE MRI may have potential use for the assessment of PE, and does not require patient cooperation in breath-holding.

Age-independent myocardial infarct quantification by signal intensity percent infarct mapping in swine.
To test whether signal intensity percent infarct mapping (SI-PIM) accurately determines the size of myocardial infarct (MI) regardless of infarct age. ⋯ Our results indicate that the SI-PIM method can accurately determine MI volume regardless of the pathological stage of MI. Once tested, it may prove to be useful for the clinic.

Modified triexponential analysis of intravoxel incoherent motion for brain perfusion and diffusion.
To noninvasively obtain more detailed information on brain perfusion and diffusion using modified triexponential analysis. ⋯ Diffusion analysis with triexponential function enables noninvasive gathering of more detailed information on brain perfusion and diffusion.

Noise robust spatially regularized myelin water fraction mapping with the intrinsic B1-error correction based on the linearized version of the extended phase graph model.
To improve the quantification accuracy of transverse relaxometry by accounting for B1 -error, after minimizing slice profile imperfections. ⋯ The proposed method resulted in more accurate and noise robust myelin water fraction maps with improved depiction of subcortical WM structures.
