..., but the mechanical changes that occur in this ligament with spinal degeneration are unknown. Additionally, the highly nonlinear, heterogeneous, and anisotropic nature of the facet capsular ligament makes understanding mechanical changes more difficult. Clinically, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based signs...

...-PCMR data were acquired in the aortas of healthy men (n = 12) and women (n = 15) and time-averaged WSS (TAWSS) was compared. Agreement was observed when comparing TAWSS between CFD and the PCMR flow-based method with a correlation coefficient of 0.88 (CFD: 15.0 ± 1.9 versus MRI: 13.5 ± 2.4 dyn/cm 2...

... a stiffness distribution through the thrombus thickness. In this work, we use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to delineate the heterogeneous composition of ILT in 7 AAAs and perform patient–specific finite element analysis under multiple conditions of ILT layer stiffness disparity. We find that explicit...

.... To address this limitation, we developed a novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-compatible test apparatus that can impose either a contusion-type or dislocation-type acute cervical SCI in a rodent model and facilitate MR-imaging of the cervical spinal cord in a 7 T MR scanner. In this study, we present...

... gating MRI tissue tagging strain Cardiac imaging using magnetic resonance (MR) requires several heart beats to reconstruct one cardiac cycle because of limitations in temporal resolution. One can imagine the cardiac cycle being divided into a number of bins, each bin representing a time-frame...

A novel combination of computational and statistical models based on serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was introduced to quantify sensitivity and specificity of mechanical predictors to identify the best candidate for plaque rupture site prediction. Serial in vivo MRI data of carotid plaque from one...

... be determined according to the recipient size and there is a need to estimate it from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the contralateral knee or the injured knee bones. The use of the contralateral-knee for size matching is problematic due to economic and practical reasons. Hence, there are significant...

... is heterogeneous and anisotropic. We developed and applied a new technique to measure spatial and directional variations in surface growth from longitudinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies of a single animal or human subject. MRI provides high resolution 3D image volumes of the brain at different stages...

... and sonication times between 20 s and 40 s. It was found that histology consistently yielded lower lesion volumes than the other two methods, and the calculated values were below magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at high applied energies. Still, the three methods agreed with each other to within a ± 10...

This study extends the previous 2D critical stress concept to 3D by using in vivo magnetic resonance image (MRI) data of human atherosclerotic carotid plaques and 3D fluid-structure...

... compared point wise for the overall surface. The linear mixed-effects model was used for statistical test. On average, taking account of individual variations, the thickness measurements in MRI were overestimated in thinner ( < 2.5 mm ) regions. The cartilage thicker than 2.5 mm was accurately predicted...
