Stejskal and Tanner's ingenious pulsed field gradient design from 1965 has made diffusion
NMR and MRI the mainstay of most studies seeking to resolve microstructural information in …

Quantitative spinal cord (SC) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) presents many challenges,
including a lack of standardized imaging protocols. Here we present a prospectively …

Placebo analgesia is a prime example of the impact that psychological factors have on pain
perception. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging of the human spinal cord to …

Reduced pain perception while being distracted from pain is an everyday example of how
cognitive processes can interfere with pain perception [1–5]. Previous neuroimaging studies …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: In cases of metastatic disease of the spine, monitoring the
response to medical therapy with plain radiography, bone scanning, and conventional spin-…

Value information about a drug, such as the price tag, can strongly affect its therapeutic effect.
We discovered that value information influences adverse treatment outcomes in humans …

MRI techniques such as quantitative imaging and parallel transmit require precise knowledge
of the radio‐frequency transmit field (B ). Three published methods were optimized for …

Two‐dimensional spatially‐selective RF (2DRF) excitation pulses were developed for single‐shot
echo‐planar imaging (EPI) with reduced field of view (FOV) in the phase‐encoding …

Spontaneous fluctuations in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) signals of the
brain have repeatedly been observed when no task or external stimulation is present. These …
