Deuterium brain imaging at 7T during D2O dosing (2022)
Journal Article

Purpose To characterize the (2H) deuterium MR signal measured from human brain at 7T in participants loading with D2O to ˜1.5% enrichment over a six-week period. Methods 2H spectroscopy and imaging measurements were used to track the time-course... Read More about Deuterium brain imaging at 7T during D2O dosing.

A Comparison of T2 Relaxation-Based MRI Stroke Timing Methods in Hyperacute Ischemic Stroke Patients: A Pilot Study (2020)
Journal Article

Background: T2 relaxation-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signals may provide onset time for acute ischemic strokes with an unknown onset. The ability of visual and quantitative MRI-based methods in a cohort of hyperacute ischemic stroke patie...

Determining T2 relaxation time and stroke onset relationship in ischaemic stroke within apparent diffusion coefficient-defined lesions. A user-independent method for quantifying the impact of stroke in the human brain (2019)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: In hyperacute ischaemic stroke, T2 of cerebral water increases with time. Quantifying this change may be informative of the extent of tissue damage and onset time. Our objective was to develop a user-unbiased method to measu...

Quantifying T2 relaxation time changes within lesions defined by apparent diffusion coefficient in grey and white matter in acute stroke patients (2019)
Journal Article

The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of cerebral water, as measured by diffusion MRI, rapidly decreases in ischaemia, highlighting a lesion in acute stroke patients. The MRI T2 relaxation time changes in ischaemic brain such that T2 in ADC lesion...

Observation of angular dependence of T1 in the human white matter at 3T (2019)
Journal Article

Background and Objective: Multiple factors including chemical composition and microstructure influence relaxivity of tissue water in vivo. We have quantified T1 in the human white mater (WM) together with diffusion tensor imaging to study a possible...

Imaging of nuclear magnetic resonance spin-lattice relaxation activation energy in cartilage (2018)
Journal Article

Samples of human and bovine cartilage have been examined using magnetic resonance imaging to determine the proton nuclearmagnetic resonance spin-lattice relaxation time, T1, as a function of depth within the cartilage tissue. T1 was measured at five... Read More about Imaging of nuclear magnetic resonance spin-lattice relaxation activation energy in cartilage.

Grassmann variables and pseudoclassical Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (2016)
Journal Article

The concept of a propagator is useful and is a well-known object in diffusion NMR experiments. Here, we investigate the related concept; the propagator for the magnetization or the Green's function of the Torrey-Bloch equations. The magnetization pro...

The effect of collagen fibril orientation on the biphasic mechanics of articular cartilage (2016)
Journal Article

The highly inhomogeneous distribution of collagen fibrils may have important effects on the biphasic mechanics of articular cartilage. However, the effect of the inhomogeneity of collagen fibrils has mainly been investigated using simplified three-la...

A nuclear magnetic resonance study of water in aggrecan solutions (2016)
Journal Article

Aggrecan, a highly charged macromolecule found in articular cartilage, was investigated in aqueous salt solutions with proton nuclear magnetic resonance. The longitudinal and transverse relaxation rates were determined at two different field strength... Read More about A nuclear magnetic resonance study of water in aggrecan solutions.
