Medical imaging has enormous potential for early disease prediction, but is impeded by the
difficulty and expense of acquiring data sets before symptom onset. UK Biobank aims to …

UK Biobank is a large-scale prospective epidemiological study with all data accessible to
researchers worldwide. It is currently in the process of bringing back 100,000 of the original …

Refocused steady‐state free precession (SSFP) is limited by its high sensitivity to local field
variation, particularly at high field strengths or the long repetition times (TRs) necessary for …

OBJECTIVE. MRI is the most accurate noninvasive method available to diagnose disorders
of articular cartilage. Conventional 2D and 3D approaches show changes in cartilage …

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to measure and compare the relaxation times of
musculoskeletal tissues at 3.0T and 7.0T, and to use these measurements to select …

Sodium magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or imaging of the 23Na nucleus, has been
under exploration for several decades, and holds promise for potentially revealing additional …

The proliferation of high‐field whole‐body systems, advances in gradient performance and
refinement of signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR)‐efficient short‐TE sequences suitable for sodium …

Purpose: To compare signal‐to‐noise ratios (SNRs) and T* 2 maps at 3 T and 7 T using 3D
cones from in vivo sodium images of the human knee. Materials and Methods: Sodium …

Objective To measure the variability of T 1ρ relaxation times using CubeQuant, T 2 relaxation
times using quantitative double echo in steady state (DESS), and normalized sodium …

Purpose The objective of this study was to determine whether a sodium phased array would
improve sodium breast MRI at 3 T. The secondary objective was to create acceptable proton …
