T2 mapping proved to be a sensitive, noninvasive tool for quantitatively characterizing the process of IDD in longitudinal study.
T2 mapping could act as a sensitive, noninvasive tool for quantitatively characterizing the process of IDD in longitudinal study, help better understanding of the pathophysiology of IDD, assist us to detect the degenerative cascade, and develop a T2-based quantification scale for evaluation of IDD and efficacy of therapeutic interventions.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential applications of T2 mapping in longitudinal study as a noninvasive tool for quantitatively characterizing the process of IDD, by studying the changes in NP T2 and extracellular matrix (ECM -related gECM -relatedons in the progenesion of IDD in a rabbit modexpressionsows longinudinal correlathen of T2 and biochemical progressionof IDD.
The results of this research can be used to guide the establishment and improvement of RE processes, compare different requirement process solutions quantitatively, develop methods for evaluating benefits from process improvements, and structure the application of knowledge about RE.
The aim of this study was to develop a new method for characterizing the mixing process and quantitatively measuring the mixing time in shake flasks by introducing a rotating camera for online observation of the fluid flow in combination with a typical colorimetric method using a pH indicator.
However, it is not likely to affect us to determine T2 mapping's potential for quantitatively evaluating IVD and characterizing the process of IDD.
Bioluminescence tomography (BLT) is an established optical molecular imaging technique for quantitatively monitoring the in vivo biological process of small animals [ 1– 3].
T2 mapping could provide a reliable, continuous scale for quantitatively evaluating IVD and characterizing the process of IDD rather than a discrete, ordinal one as assessed by the conventional classifications that fail to identify lesser degree of progression of IDD.
After validating the computations against measurements by Andreopoulos and Rodi, we analyze qualitatively and quantitatively the mixing process for three configurations with different angles.
