Ultrahigh-resolution quantitative spinal cord MRI at 9.4T.

abstract：:MRI evaluations of intramyocardial hemorrhage in acute infarction have relied on T(2) and T(2)(*) shortening only. We propose a more comprehensive evaluation of hemorrhagic infarction based on the concept that fluctuations in T(2) and T(1) relaxation in acute reperfused infarction will reflect transient edema and hemo...
