The present method enables the noninvasive assessment of mean pulmonary arterial pressure
from magnetic resonance phase mapping by computing both physical and biophysical …

Objective The objective of this study was to assess suitability of dual-time-point 18 F-FDG [(18
F)-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose]-PET imaging for differentiating between malignant and benign …

This work investigated whether 18 F-FDG PET standardized uptake value (SUV) is stable
over time in the normal human liver. Methods: The SUV-versus-time curve, SUV(t), of 18 F-FDG …

Purpose To investigate the feasibility of assessing, noninvasively, aortic pulse pressure (APP)
and pulse wave velocity (PWV) in the ascending aorta of young adults by means of velocity…

We describe a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging method that emphasizes pressure wave
velocity to noninvasively assess pulmonary arterial hypertension. Both the blood flow and the …

This work addresses the issue of using 18 F-FDG PET in patients with renal failure. Methods:
A model analysis has been developed to compare tissue 18 F-FDG uptake in a patient who …

Aim: We evaluated a Siemens software of flow quantification (FQ) by MR phase mapping, in
the framework of a common practical use. Methods: Experiments with a laminar flow …

Magnetic resonance (MR) phase mapping was used to noninvasively assess both blood
flow and cross-sectional area (CSA) in the main pulmonary artery (MPA) of 12 healthy …

This theoretical work shows that the rate constant for the 18 F-FDG release in tissues can be
assessed without needing any arterial blood sampling. The method requires that the …

Results Figure 2 illustrates PGA that displays the ratio CTot (t)/Cp (t) versus the stretched time
ts. For the period t≥ t*, and, hence, ts≥ ts*, the steady-state uptake-rate constant Ki of the …
