Purpose: MR-based FID navigators (FIDnavs) do not require gradient pulses and are attractive for prospective motion correction (PMC) due to short acquisition times and high sampling rates. However, accuracy and precision are limited and depend on a separate calibration measurement. Besides FIDnavs, stationary NMR field probes are also capable of measuring local, motion-induced field changes.

In greyhounds and pet dogs in the USA, A. caninum has been shown to be resistant to multiple anthelmintics.

Aims: Data on the prognostic value of left and right atrial strain after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for severe aortic stenosis (AS) are limited. Aim of this study was to evaluate outcomes of patients undergoing TAVR stratified by left and right atrial strain.
Methods And Results: Using data from a high-volume academic center, left and right atrial reservoir strain (LASr and RASr) was obtained in patients who underwent TAVR for severe AS from 2018 until 2021.
Neuroimaging has an essential role in studies of brain health and of cerebrovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, requiring the availability of versatile magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) acquisition and processing protocols. We designed and developed a multipurpose high-resolution MRI protocol for large-scale and long-term population neuroimaging studies that includes structural, diffusion-weighted and functional MRI modalities. This modular protocol takes almost 1 h of scan time and is, apart from a concluding abdominal scan, entirely dedicated to the brain.
