The Value of Anti-Müllerian Hormone in Predicting Clinical Pregnancy After Intrauterine Insemination.

Objectives: To evaluate the utility of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) in predicting clinical pregnancy with intrauterine insemination (IUI) and compare it to other markers of quantitative ovarian reserve.

Methods: Retrospective cohort study of women undergoing natural and stimulated IUI cycles. All patients achieved a clinical pregnancy within three IUI cycles or completed three IUI cycles without pregnancy.

Reduction of CSF and blood flow artifacts on FLAIR images of the brain with k-space reordered by inversion time at each slice position (KRISP).

Background And Purpose: Our purpose was to test a new variant of the fluid-attenuated inversion-recovery (FLAIR) sequence that was designed to reduce CSF and blood flow artifacts by use of a non-slice-selective inversion pulse and k-space reordered by inversion time at each slice position (KRISP).

Methods: With the KRISP FLAIR sequence, the slice order was cycled so that each inversion time (TI) was associated with a region of k-space rather than a particular slice, and the effective inversion time (TI(eff)) was chosen to null the signal from CSF. Scans were obtained with both conventional and KRISP FLAIR sequences.

Evaluation of a FLAIR sequence designed to reduce CSF and blood flow artifacts by use of k-space reordered by inversion time at each slice position (KRISP) in high grade gliomas of the brain.

The objective of this study was to compare conventional and KRISP (k-space reordered by inversion time at each slice position) fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequences in high grade gliomas for artifact control, conspicuity of intracranial structures, and lesions as well as sensitivity to contrast enhancement. Artifacts were lower with the KRISP FLAIR sequence, and the conspicuity of all assessed structures and lesions was better. The degree of contrast enhancement was similar with T1-weighted and KRISP FLAIR sequences.
