We are interested in the mathematical modeling of the deformation of the human lung tissue, called the lung parenchyma, during the respiration process. The parenchyma is a foam-like elastic material containing millions of air-filled alveoli connected by a ...
Purpose: To develop a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequence (fluid and white matter suppression, FLAWS) for generating two sets of images from a single acquisition: one with contrast similar to a T1-weighted magnetization-prepared rapid gradient-echo s ...
Purpose: To implement and characterize a fluorine-19 (F-19) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique and to test the hypothesis that the F-19 MRI signal in steady state after intravenous injection of a perfluoro-15-crown-5 ether (PCE) emulsion may be exp ...
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a colourless liquid that fills the ventricular space and serves several functions like buoyancy, chemical stability and protection. CSF is produced within the ventricles and partly by the ependyma cells. Part of it seeps toward ...
Hydrocephalus is a brain disease wherein the ventricles dilate and compress the parenchyma towards the skull. It is primarily characterized by the disruption of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow within the ventricular system. Normal pressure hydrocephalus ...
Chronically activated leukocytes recruited to premalignant tissues functionally contribute to cancer development; however, mechanisms underlying pro- versus anti-tumor programming of neoplastic tissues by immune cells remain obscure. Using the K14-HPV16 mo ...
