The proton resonance frequency (PRF) shift provides a means of measuring temperature
changes during minimally invasive thermotherapy. However, conventional PRF thermometry …

Hypothesis Radiofrequency (RF) energy applied to breast cancers will result in cancer cell
death. Design Prospective nonrandomized interventional trial. Setting A university hospital …

ContextWomen with inherited BRCA1/2 mutations are at high risk for breast cancer, which
mammography often misses. Screening with contrast-enhanced breast magnetic resonance …

We describe a MRI-compatible biopsy needle instrumented with optical fiber Bragg gratings
for measuring bending deflections of the needle as it is inserted into tissues. During …

PURPOSE: To compare various subjective, empiric, and pharmacokinetic methods for
interpreting findings at dynamic magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the breast. MATERIALS …

Background Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) interpreted by experts is
a powerful tool for diagnosing prostate cancer. However, the generalizability of published …

A technique is presented for the acquisition of temperature maps in the presence of variable
respiratory motion using the proton resonance frequency (PRF) shift. The technique uses …

Purpose: To accurately measure T1 and T2 of breast fibroglandular tissue and fat at 1.5T and
3T, and note the partial volume effects of the admixture of fibroglandular tissue and fat on …

This report presents selected results from the National Education Longitudinal Study of
1988 (NELS:88/2000). Most of the participants in this study were eighth graders in 1988, …

Background Being an immigrant in a high-income country is a risk factor for severe mental ill
health. Studies on mental ill health among immigrants have found significant differences in …
