It has been shown that acquisition of T2-weighted and diffusion-weighted images after administration of gadoxetic acid has no significant effect on the detection or characterization of focal hepatic lesions and, in fact, improved the lesion-to-liver contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) on diffusion-weighted images, likely a result of the shortened liver T2 relaxation time.
In this study, we compared the characteristics of 158 focal liver lesions on paired US images before and after CEUS, to explore the effect of US post-CEUS on the characterization of liver lesions.
Although others have measured the effect of population mobility on outbreak-detection performance, to our knowledge our work is the first to report the effect on outbreak-characterization performance.
The synthesis controlled method making use of dialysis, filtration, and sonication could have direct effect on the nanosize scale and magnetic characterization of nanoparticles, consequently on their r2/r1 ratio as providing and giving them a positive or negative signal properties of contrast agents.
Thermodynamic parameters such as the Gibbs free energy change (ΔG), enthalpy changes (ΔH) and entropy change (ΔS) can be used for the characterization of temperature effect on the adsorption process.
The effects of collector and frother concentration on the characterization of sublate and the complexation of sodium dodecyl sulphate with Zn II) were studied using scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray (SEM/EDX) spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy.
This paper presents numerical investigations on the characterization of the effect of shear dependent apparent viscosity of non-Newtonian fluids on the mixing efficiency and volume flow rate in an alternating current electrothermal micromixer driven by electrothermal micropump.
The effect of solvents, methanol and distilled water on the characterization of ZnO has been investigated.
This study focuses on the characterization of top and bottom effects, as well as wall effects.
The effect of sonication condition was quantitatively evaluated with emphases on the characterization of carbohydrate components in microalgal suspension and on subsequent production of fermentative bioenergy.
