Spinal and supraspinal processing of thermal stimuli: an fMRI study.
To assess and characterize responses to innocuous/noxious thermal stimuli and heat allodynia using functional spinal magnetic resonance imaging (spinal fMRI). ⋯ Spinal fMRI successfully demonstrates increased spinal activity and secondary changes in activation of supraspinal centers involved in pain modulation caused by peripheral nociceptor sensitization.

Retraction Of PublicationMicrostructural brain abnormalities of children of idiopathic generalized epilepsy with generalized tonic-clonic seizure: a voxel-based diffusional kurtosis imaging study.
To investigate the diffusion abnormalities in the brain of children with idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) with generalized tonic-clonic seizure (GTCS) by using diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI). ⋯ The kurtosis parameters (K⊥ , K// , and MK) reflect different microstructural information in the IGE children with GTCS, and this support the value of DKI in studying children GTCS.

Multicenter StudyPhase 3 efficacy and safety trial of gadobutrol, a 1.0 molar macrocyclic MR imaging contrast agent, in patients referred for contrast-enhanced MR imaging of the central nervous system.
Gadobutrol is a 1.0 M macrocyclic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent. A study was performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of gadobutrol-enhanced versus unenhanced imaging for central nervous system (CNS) lesion visualization and detection. ⋯ Gadobutrol 1.0M is an effective and well-tolerated contrast agent for CNS MRI.

Comparative StudyMRI of the carotid artery at 7 Tesla: quantitative comparison with 3 Tesla.
To evaluate the 7 Tesla (T) MRI of the carotid arteries, as quantitatively compared with 3T. ⋯ Evaluation between 3T and 7T carotid MRI with optimized setups at both field strengths showed improved SNR at 7T, an increase in vessel wall T1 and a decrease in vessel wall T2.

Usefulness of thin-section single-shot turbo spin echo with half-Fourier acquisition in evaluation of local invasion of lung cancer.
To evaluate the usefulness of thin-section single-shot turbo spin echo with half-Fourier acquisition (SS-TSE-HF) alone for evaluation of local invasion of lung cancer. ⋯ Thin-section SS-TSE-HF sequence alone without any contrast agent demonstrated a relatively high diagnostic performance in evaluation of local invasion of lung cancer.
