In a 2014 Huffington Post article, writer Scott MacFarland asks, “If a picture is worth a thousand words, what is a video worth?” (1). McFarland suggests that we are in the midst of a paradigm. [...]
Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted positron emission tomography (PET) imaging is an emerging technique for evaluating patients with prostate cancer (PCa) in a variety of clinical contexts. As with any new imaging modality, there are i...
Image blurring that results from off-resonance and fast T2* signal decay is a common issue in radial ultrashort echo time magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences. One solution is to use a higher readout bandwidth, but this may be impractical for s...
Magnetic labeling of stem cells enables their noninvasive detection by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In practical terms, most MRI studies have been limited to the visualization of local engraftment because other sources of endogenous hypointense...
Pathologic vertebral compression fractures (PVCFs) cause significant morbidity in patients with metastatic bone disease. Limitations in existing clinical biomarkers leave clinicians without reliable metrics for predicting PVCF, thus impeding efforts...
Recent animal studies have shown that D-glucose is a potential biodegradable magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent for imaging glucose uptake in tumors. We show herein the first translation of that use of D-glucose to human studies. Chemica...
Genetically encoded fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) reporters are powerful tools for analyzing cell signaling and function at single-cell resolution in standard 2D cell cultures, but these reporters rarely have been applied to 3D enviro...
Tissue conductivity is a biophysical marker of tissue structure and physiology. Present methods of measuring tissue conductivity are limited. Electrical impedance tomography and magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography rely on passing an ex...
Magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) is an imaging tool that produces multiple magnetic resonance imaging parametric maps from a single scan. Herein we describe the normal range and progression of MRF-derived relaxometry values with age in healthy...
Spatially nonuniform diffusion weighting bias as a result of gradient nonlinearity (GNL) causes substantial errors in apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps for anatomical regions imaged distant from the magnet isocenter. Our previously described...
