Heart wall motion: improved method of spatial modulation of magnetization for MR imaging.

Axel, L, Dougherty, L·1989·Radiology

Abstract

A previously reported method of using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to study heart wall motion involves a pair of nonselective radio-frequency (RF) pulses, separated by a magnetic field gradient pulse, prior to imaging; this produces images with a regular pattern of stripes that move with the heart wall and that have a sinusoidal intensity profile. It is demonstrated in this study that the substitution of more RF pulses, with their relative amplitudes distributed according to the binomial sequence, results in sharper stripes. This permits the use of a two-dimensional grid of stripes for more detailed studies of heart wall motion and provides a unique method of analyzing regional ventricular myocardial strain.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
