TL;DR: In this article, the transient behavior of the longitudinal magnetization of the mobile protons in aqueous heterogeneous materials is investigated both theoretically and experimentally when selective saturation is applied by off-resonance, RF irradiation to the homogeneously broadened, immobile protons which are coupled to the mobile particles through cross relaxation.

TL;DR: To elucidate the dynamic, structural, and molecular properties that create inhomogeneous magnetization transfer (ihMT) contrast, the HMT contrast experiment is used as a model for high-performance liquid chromatography of Na6(CO3)(SO4)+.

TL;DR: The utility of MRI using magnetization transfer (MT) enhanced pulse sequences to diagnose hepatic cirrhosis in a rat model was investigated, and the MR measurements performed with MT were superior to those without differentiating the treated and control groups.

TL;DR: Anti-TNF&agr; prevents the development of bowel wall inflammation and fibrosis in the PG-PS rat model of CD and MT-MRI measurably demonstrates this decrease in intestinal fibrosis.

TL;DR: RF ablation lesions can be detected long term after an ablation procedure targeting ventricular arrhythmias in patients without previous infarction.
