Simultaneous measurement of gastric emptying of a soup test meal using MRI and gamma scintigraphy (2020)
Journal Article
Khalaf, A., Hoad, C. L., Blackshaw, E., Alyami, J., Spiller, R. C., Gowland, P. A., …Marciani, L. (2020). Simultaneous measurement of gastric emptying of a soup test meal using MRI and gamma scintigraphy. Diagnostics, 10(3), Article 170. https://doi.org/10.3390/diagnostics10030170

Measurement of gastric emptying is of clinical value for a range of conditions. Gamma scintigraphy (GS) has an established role, but the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has recently increased. Previous comparison studies between MRI and GS sh...

Neurogastroenterology and Motility, 28(4), 554-568. https://doi.org/10.1111/nmo.12752

Background: Current investigations of stomach function are based on small test meals that do not reliably induce symptoms and analysis techniques that rarely detect clinically relevant dysfunction. This study introduces the large ‘Nottingham Test Mea...

Imaging gray matter with concomitant null point imaging from the phase sensitive inversion recovery sequence (2015)
Journal Article
Mougin, O., Abdel-Fahim, R., Dineen, R., Pitiot, A., Evangelou, N., & Gowland, P. (2016). Imaging gray matter with concomitant null point imaging from the phase sensitive inversion recovery sequence. Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, 76(5), 1512-1516. https://doi.org/10.1002/mrm.26061

Purpose

To present an improved three-dimensional (3D) interleaved phase sensitive inversion recovery (PSIR) sequence including a concomitantly acquired new contrast, null point imaging (NPI), to help detect and classify abnormalities in cortical g...
