Contrast gradient and the detection of lung nodules.

abstract：:Magnetic resonance (MR) methods have been used to study the metabolic and vascular response of model tumors to tumor necrosis factor (TNF). Magnetic resonance measurements demonstrated acute reductions in tumor blood flow, measured from tumor uptake of D2O, and in tumor adenosine triphosphate (ATP), measured by 31P ma...
