He is the surgeon, the one who wields the knife, so maybe I see patriarchal echoes; Abraham, preparing to sacrifice his son.
Alongside such accounts, claims by the Northern Alliance of large numbers of front-line Taliban field commanders being prepared to defect had echoes elsewhere.
French bankers are preparing themselves for a battle to echo the one that Banque Nationale de Paris (BNP), Paribas and Société Générale waged in 1999, which ended with BNP wresting control of Paribas.
Extraction of HVs from the three-dimensional magnetization prepared rapid gradient echo MRI data in 43 MCI cases was performed using a commercial, US Food and Drug Administration-approved, fully automated volumetric measurement program (NeuroQuant®) [ 36].
A high-resolution structural magnetization prepared rapid gradient echo scan (voxel size = 1 × 1 × 1 mm, repetition time = 2250 ms, echo time = 2.99 ms, inversion time = 900 ms, flip angle = 9o, total scan time = 4 min 16 s) was acquired in all participants.
T1-weighted volumetric images were obtained using a sagittal 3D magnetization prepared rapid gradient echo sequence (echo time/repetition time/inversion time = 2.9/2200/900 ms, dimensions of 256 × 256 × 208, voxel size of 1.1 × 1.1 × 1.1 mm).
High-resolution, sagittal T1-weighted images were acquired with the magnetization prepared, rapid acquisition gradient echo sequence to obtain a 3D anatomical scan of the head and brain.
Lastly, be prepared for the echo chamber that is Twitter.
A T1-weighted, magnetization prepared rapid gradient echo sequence (MPRAGE) (echo time, TE = 4 ms; repetition time, TR = 1.900 ms; inversion time, TI = 700 ms, flip angle = 15°, image matrix = 256 × 256 mm) generating 176 consecutive sagittal slices with a voxel size of 1 mm was acquired.
Contrast images were acquired 10to1515 min after administration of 0.2 mmol kg−1 gadolinium-DTPA in the same views as in the cine images, using a two-dimensional segmented inversion-recovery prepared gradient echo sequence (TE 4.4 ms, TR 9.8 ms, inversion time 250 to 300 ms, typical voxel size 1.3 × 1.6 × 5.0 mm).
For spatial normalization and localization, a high resolution T1-weighted anatomical image was then acquired using a magnetization prepared gradient echo sequence (time repetition [TR] = 9.9 ms, time echo [TE] = 4.6 ms, flip angle = 90°, slice thickness = 1 mm, matrix = 236 × 240, field of view [FOV] = 235 × 235 × 196 mm, acquisition voxel size = 1 × 1 × 1 mm).
