Spontaneous solute and solvent permeation through membranes is of vital importance to
human life, be it gas exchange in red blood cells, metabolite excretion, drug/toxin uptake, or …

NMR spectroscopy has been applied to cells and tissues analysis since its beginnings, as
early as 1950. We have attempted to gather here in a didactic fashion the broad diversity of …

Tight junctions are well-developed between adjacent endothelial cells of blood vessels in
the central nervous system, and play a central role in establishing the blood-brain barrier …

Background Quantitative T1-mapping is rapidly becoming a clinical tool in cardiovascular
magnetic resonance (CMR) to objectively distinguish normal from diseased myocardium …

Accurate diagnosis of intracranial hemorrhage represents a frequent challenge for the
practicing radiologist. The purpose of this article is to provide the reader with a synoptic …

The diffusional water permeability of human red cells and ghosts was determined by
measuring the rate of tracer efflux by means of an improved version of the continuous flow …

An integrative model is proposed to describe the dependence of the transverse relaxation
rate of blood water protons (R2blood= 1/T2blood) on hematocrit fraction and oxygenation …

We reviewed the current literature and theories pertaining to the appearance of hemorrhage
on MR images. New theories were formulated to explain the etiology of spin-echo (SE) and …
