Task-free functional connectivity in animal models provides an experimental framework to
examine connectivity phenomena under controlled conditions and allows for comparisons …

Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (qMRI) is a technique for estimating quantitative
tissue properties, such as the T 1 and T 2 relaxation times, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC)…

Purpose A novel three‐dimensional (3D) T 1 and T 2 mapping protocol for the carotid artery
is presented. Methods A 3D black‐blood imaging sequence was adapted allowing carotid T …

Adverse cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction ultimately causes heart failure. To
stimulate reparative processes in the infarct, efficient delivery and retention of therapeutic …

Cardiac MR T 1 mapping is a promising quantitative imaging tool for the diagnosis and
evaluation of cardiomyopathy. Here, we present a new preclinical cardiac MRI method enabling …

Background and aims Inflammation in atherosclerotic plaques is an important determinant
of plaque vulnerability, and can be detected non-invasively using ultra-small …

Background and aims Infusion of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) mimetics aimed at reducing
atherosclerotic burden has led to equivocal results, which may relate in part to the inability …

Purpose To (a) study the optimal timing and dosing for ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron
oxide particle (USPIO)–enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the liver in …

Purpose Magnetic resonance imaging protocols for the assessment of quantitative information
suffer from long acquisition times since multiple measurements in a parametric dimension …

OBJECTIVE MR vessel wall imaging (VWI) is increasingly performed in clinical settings to
support treatment decision-making regarding intracranial aneurysms. Aneurysm wall …
