This article evaluates a novel intravascular plug, the Hourglass peripheral embolisation device (PED). The use of this device is described, and its potential applications are discussed. In this study, the indications, success rate, and the procedure-related...
Magnetisation transfer as a biomarker for chronic airway fibrosis
This study aims to evaluate magnetisation transfer (MT) as a biomarker of developing chronic airway fibrosis (CAF) of lung transplants in a mouse model. By performing lung transplantation in 48 mice, applying major or minor histocompatibility mismatches between...
Intra-voxel incoherent motion MRI of the living human foetus: technique and test–retest repeatability
The aim of this study was to test the within-subject (test–retest) reproducibility of the perfusion fraction, diffusion coefficient, and pseudo-diffusion coefficient measurements in various foetus organs and in the placenta based on the intra-voxel incoherent motion...
Average absorbed breast dose in mammography: a new possible dose index matching the requirements of the European Directive 2013/59/EURATOM
Due to the new European Directive 2013/59/EURATOM that requires that patients are informed about the risk associated with ionising radiation and that detailed information on patient exposure is included in the radiological report, this study proposed a new mammography...
