Growing opioid use among pregnant women is fueling a crisis of infants born with prenatal
opioid exposure. A large body of research has been devoted to studying the management of …

This study investigates diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) for providing microstructural insight
into changes in arterial tissue by exploring how cell, collagen and elastin content effect …

Introduction: Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
technique that measures the anisotropy of water diffusion. Clinical magnetic resonance …

The value of preclinical diffusion MRI (dMRI) is substantial. While dMRI enables in vivo non-
invasive characterization of tissue, ex vivo dMRI is increasingly being used to probe tissue …

Purpose This paper presents a hierarchical modeling approach for estimating
cardiomyocyte major and minor diameters and intracellular volume fraction (ICV) using …

Anthracyclines are highly potent anti-cancer drugs, but their clinical use is limited by severe
cardiotoxic side effects. The impact of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC) on left …

Introduction MRI of excised hearts at ultra-high field strengths (B 0≥ 7 T) can provide high-
resolution, high-fidelity ground truth data for biomedical studies, imaging science, and …

Abstract Aims Thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs) carry a risk of catastrophic dissection.
Current strategies to evaluate this risk entail measuring aortic diameter but do not image …

To develop a method for noninvasive evaluation of liver fibrosis, we investigated the
differential sensitivities of quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) and R2* mapping using …

In chronic liver disease, liver fibrosis develops as excessive deposition of extracellular
matrix macromolecules, predominantly collagens, progressively form fibrous scars that …
