A direct measure of intramolecular chain diffusion is obtained by the determination of triplet–triplet
energy-transfer rates between a donor and an acceptor chromophore attached at …

Balanced steady state free precession (balanced SSFP) has become increasingly popular for
research and clinical applications, offering a very high signal‐to‐noise ratio and a T 2 /T 1 ‐…

Balanced steady‐state free precession (SSFP) completely compensates for all gradients
within each repetition time (TR), and is thus very sensitive to any magnetic field imperfection …

Purpose Rapid imaging techniques have attracted increased interest for relaxometry, but
none are perfect: they are prone to static (B 0 ) and transmit (B 1 ) field heterogeneities, and …

The rate of formation of intramolecular interactions in unfolded proteins determines how fast
conformational space can be explored during folding. Characterization of the dynamics of …

Background Articular cartilage injuries have poor repair capacity, leading to progressive
joint damage, and cannot be restored predictably by either conventional treatments or …

It is generally accepted that signal formation in balanced steady‐state free precession (bSSFP)
is a simple function of relaxation times and flip angle only. This can be confirmed for fluids…

Balanced steady‐state free precession (bSSFP) has become increasingly important in
clinical applications. Its signal properties have been investigated over several years by many …

In muscular dystrophies quantitative muscle MRI (qMRI) detects disease progression more
sensitively than clinical scores. This prospective one year observational study compared …

The purpose of this ethics approved trial was to correlate quantitative MRI with functional
abilities in both ambulant and non-ambulant Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Twenty …
