CARS diagnostics of fluid phase behavior in small mesopores at near‐critical temperatures

Published: Apr 9, 2013

Author(s): V. G. Arakcheev, V. B. Morozov

Journal: Journal of Raman Spectroscopy

Coherent anti‐Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) spectroscopy is applied to investigate the fluid phase behavior in small mesopores at bulk sub‐ and supercritical temperatures. CARS spectra of the Q‐branch (1388 cm−1) of carbon dioxide were measured at isothermal compression in pores of two nanoporous glass samples with pore radii of 2 and 3.5 nm. The spectral transformations with pressure of the fluid indicate the formation of a condensed phase in the...

Rapid multi‐echo measurement of brain metabolite T 2 values at 7 T using a single‐shot spectroscopic Carr–Purcell–Meiboom–Gill sequence and prior information

Published: Apr 7, 2013

Author(s): Itamar Ronen, Ece Ercan, Andrew Webb

Journal: NMR in Biomedicine

We present a method for the robust and accurate estimation of brain metabolite transverse relaxation times (T2) from multiple spin‐echo data acquired with a single‐shot Carr–Purcell–Meiboom–Gill (CPMG) spectroscopic sequence. Each acquired echo consists of a small number of complex time‐domain data points. The amplitudes of the spectral components in each echo are calculated by solving a set of linear equations in which previously estimated...

Published: Apr 4, 2013

Author(s): Dennis W. J. Klomp, Adrienne N. Dula, Lori R. Arlinghaus, Michel Italiaander, Richard D. Dortch, Zhongliang Zu, Jason M. Williams, Daniel F. Gochberg, Peter R. Luijten, John C. Gore, Thomas E. Yankeelov, Seth A. Smith

Journal: NMR in Biomedicine

Chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) can offer information about protons associated with mobile proteins through the amide proton transfer (APT) effect, which has been shown to discriminate tumor from healthy tissue and, more recently, has been suggested as a prognosticator of response to therapy. Despite this promise, APT effects are small (only a few percent of the total signal), and APT imaging is often prone to artifacts...

Adiabatic multi‐echo 31 P spectroscopic imaging (AMESING) at 7 T for the measurement of transverse relaxation times and regaining of sensitivity in tissues with short T 2 * values

Published: Apr 2, 2013

Author(s): W. J. M. Kemp, V. O. Boer, P. R. Luijten, B. L. Stehouwer, W. B. Veldhuis, D. W. J. Klomp

Journal: NMR in Biomedicine

An adiabatic multi‐echo spectroscopic imaging (AMESING) sequence, used for 31P MRSI, with spherical k‐space sampling and compensated phase‐encoding gradients, was implemented on a whole‐body 7‐T MR system. One free induction decay (FID) and up to five symmetric echoes can be acquired with this sequence. In tissues with low T2* and high T2, this can theoretically lead to a potential maximum signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) increase of almost a factor of three,...

Author(s): M. J. Farquharson, A. Al‐Ebraheem, S. Cornacchi, G. Gohla, P. Lovrics

Journal: X-Ray Spectrometry

X‐ray interaction data, including measuring bio‐metal levels and scattering characteristics, are being shown to be a possible discriminating variable in the classification of human tissues. However, a major concern when using X‐ray interaction data in breast cancer material is that the samples are rarely 100% tumour because of the invasive nature of the disease. The work reported here includes a methodology to help overcome this...
