While Taiwan Mandarin alveolar and velar nasal codas are reported to lose their place contrast in a vowel-dependent fashion (i.e., more pervasive merging the /iN/ context, followed by /əN/ no /aN/ context), other acoustic cues, such as vowel nasalization, have been preserve contrast. Results from our ultrasound experiment, which speakers produced both focused unfocused conditions, showed that was most vulnerable merger contexts not enhanced focus. Instead, pre-nasal nasalization emerged...
This study was designed to evaluate the value of contrast-enhanced whole-heart coronary MRA (CMRA) at 3.0T in depicting cardiac venous anatomy. In resynchronization therapy (CRT), left ventricular (LV) pacing is achieved by positioning LV lead one tributaries sinus (CS). Pre-implantation knowledge anatomy may help determine whether transvenous placement for CRT feasible. Images 51 subjects undergoing CMRA were retrospectively analyzed. Data acquisition performed using...
To assess the feasibility of using magnetic resonance (MR) angiography to noninvasively measure coronary distensibility index (CDI) in older adults.This study was approved by institutional review board and compliant with HIPAA. Informed consent obtained from all participants. Three-dimensional MR performed 23 patients type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) (mean age, 72.9 years ± 5.8 [standard deviation]; age range, 65-84 years; 12 men, 11 women) 50 healthy aging control subjects 73.1 5.6; 64-84 28...
Background Following heart transplantation (Tx), recipients are closely monitored using endomyocardial biopsy, which is limited by cost and invasiveness, echocardiography, regarding detailed structural functional evaluation. Purpose To test the feasibility of comprehensive structure–function cardiac MRI as a noninvasive modality to assess changes in myocardial structure function. Study Type Prospective. Subjects MR was performed 61 transplant (age 47.9 ± 16.3 years, 39% female) 14...
To detect differences in potential magnetic resonance imaging biomarkers of coronary remodeling between older hypertensive patients and healthy controls.Two-dimensional black-blood wall 3-dimensional whole-heart angiography were performed on 130 participants (65-84 years), including 65 controls. Coronary segments derived from had a higher mean thickness, smaller vessel area, lumen lower distensibility index, percent the occupying area (PWOV) than those When average PWOV was set as an ad hoc...
Objective The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that there are good agreements between cardiac functional and structural indices derived from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences triggered with pilot tone (PT) electrocardiogram (ECG). Materials Methods Sixteen healthy volunteers (11 male, age 21–76 years) underwent a MRI scan. Cine MRI, T1, T2 mapping were acquired by using PT ECG triggering. Quantitative measurements, including left right ventricular end-diastolic volume,...
Abstract Purpose: To assess the hypothesis that steady‐state free procession (SSFP) allows for imaging of coronary wall under conditions fast heart rate in transplantation (HTx) patients. Materials and Methods: With approval our Institutional Review Board, 28 HTx patients were scanned with a 1.5T scanner. Cross‐sectional black‐blood images proximal portions left main artery, anterior descending right artery acquired both 2D, double inversion recovery (DIR) prepared turbo (fast) spin echo...
The purpose of this article is to test the hypothesis that heart deformation analysis can automatically quantify regional myocardial motion patterns in patients with cardiac amyloidosis.Eleven amyloidosis and 11 healthy control subjects were recruited undergo MRI. Cine images analyzed using feature tracking. Heart analysis-derived indexes radial circumferential directions, including displacement, velocity, strain, strain rate, compared between two groups.The tool required a shorter mean (±...
