Evaluation of diagnostic value and T2-weighted three-dimensional isotropic turbo spin-echo (3D-SPACE) image quality in comparison with T2-weighted two-dimensional turbo spin-echo (2D-TSE) sequences in lumbar spine MR imaging.

Purpose: to evaluate diagnostic value and image quality of T2-weighted Three-dimensional isotropic turbo spin-echo (SPACE) in comparison with T2-weighted two-dimensional turbo spin-echo (TSE) sequences for comprehensive evaluation of lumbar spine pathologies.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-five participants with lumbar discopathy were examined on a 1.5-T MRI system with both 2D TSE and 3D SPACE sequences.

Therapeutic Effects of repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Corticospinal Tract Activities and Neuromuscular Properties in Children with Cerebral Palsy.

The objective of this research was to study the therapeutic effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on corticospinal tract (CST) activities, reflex hyper-excitability, muscle stiffness, and the clinical status of children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP). Three children participated in this study. The treatment lasted for 6 weeks.
