Complex Hemodynamic Responses to Trans-Vascular Electrical Stimulation of the Renal Nerve in Anesthetized Pigs
Complex Hemodynamic Responses to Trans-Vascular Electrical Stimulation of the Renal Nerve in Anesthetized Pigs 150 150 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)
The objective of this study was to characterize hemodynamic changes during trans-vascular stimulation of the renal nerve and their dependence on stimulation parameters. We employed a stimulation catheter inserted in the right renal artery under fluoroscopic guidance, in pigs. read more

A Review of Non−1H RF Receive Arrays in Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectroscopy
Author(s)3: Matthew Wilcox, Steven M. Wright, Mary P. McDougall
A Review of Non−1H RF Receive Arrays in Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectroscopy 150 150 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)

It is now common practice to use radiofrequency (RF) array coils to increase the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in 1H magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy experiments. Use of array coils for non- 1H experiments, however,…
