2. 1. Quantitative magnetic resonance in diffuse liver and neurological disease

   Author : Olof Dahlqvist Leinhard; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : Mapping--methods; Choline--analysis; Liver diseases--diagnosis; Magnetic resonance imaging--methods; Magnetic resonance spectroscopy--methods; Multiple sclerosis--diagnosis; Multiple sclerosis--metabolism; Nerve fibers; myelinated--metabolism; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : Magnetic resonance (MR) has become one of the most important diagnostic tools in modern medicine. It provides superior soft tissue contrast compared to other imaging modalities, it is extremely flexible as it can be used to image all parts of the body, and it is considered to be safe for patients.

4. 2. Imaging of tissue degeneration in knee osteoarthritis using magnetic resonance and synchrotron radiation

   Author : Emma Einarsson; Malmö Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Magnetic resonance imaging MRI ; osteoarthritis OA ; Meniscus; Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer CEST ; Relaxation time; Synchrotron radiation X-ray tomographic microscopy;

   Abstract : Osteoarthritis (OA) is a very common disease, especially in the knee. It is characterized by the breakdown of articular cartilage but involves all parts of the joint. OA is usually diagnosed at a late stage when the articular cartilage has begun to disappear. What happens before these macroscopic alterations is to alarge extent unknown. READ MORE

6. 4. Applications of statistical methods in quantitative magnetic resonance imaging

   Author : Patrik Brynolfsson; Anders Garpebring; Tufve Nyholm; Eirik Malinen; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Quantitative imaging; tumor imaging; dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI; diffusion weighted MRI; texture analysis; radiofysik; radiation physics;

   Abstract : Magnetic resonance imaging, MRI, offers a vast range of imaging methods that can be employed in the characterization of tumors. MRI is generally used in a qualitative way, where radiologists interpret the images for e.g. diagnosis, follow ups, or assessment of treatment response. READ MORE

7. 5. Magnetic resonance imaging in patients with temporomandibular disorders and pain

   Author : Napat Limchaichana; Malmö högskola; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the method of choice for imaging disorders of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and pain. But the method is expensive, and wait times for MRI exams of the TMJ are long. READ MORE
