Error assessment due to coronary stents in flow-encoded phase contrast MR angiography: a phantom study.

Phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging (PC MRI) is a promising method for assessing coronary flow. MR angiography images in the presence of coronary stents display artifacts because of the metal present in the stent. Using a flow phantom, the goal of this in vitro study was to assess quantitatively the effects of flow dephasing caused by magnetic susceptibility in velocity measurements in a region where the artifact is not visualized in a magnitude image. The results showed that for high velocities, significant errors in measurements exist around the stent, outside the susceptibility artifact visible on a magnitude image. J. Magn. Reson.

Lateralization of prefrontal activation during internal mental calculation: a functional magnetic resonance imaging study.

1. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) at 1.5 T was used to investigate the lateralization of prefrontal cortex activity during internal mental calculation in 16 human volunteers (8 right-handed and 8 left-handed). Subjects were asked to perform two different tasks: 1) a serial subtraction of prime numbers and 2) a control task in which they mentally recited numbers. 2. Signal modifications were regularly observed in the prefrontal cortex (Brodmann's area 46) during the serial subtraction of prime numbers, whereas the number listing task poorly activated the same areas. 3. In right-handed subjects, activation was clearly lateralized in the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, whereas a frequent bilateral activation was found in left-handed subjects. 4. We conclude that prefrontal activation during mental calculation is lateralized in a manner similar to that reported during linguistic tasks, i.e., a clear lateralization in right- but not in left-handed subjects.
