HIGH-RESOLUTION CONTRAST-ENHANCED VESSEL WALL IMAGING IN PATIENTS WITH SUSPECTED CEREBRAL VASCULITIS: PROSPECTIVE COMPARISON OF WHOLE-BRAIN 3D T1 SPACE VERSUS 2D T1 BLACK BLOOD MRI AT 3 TESLA.

High-resolution contrast-enhanced vessel wall imaging in patients with suspected cerebral vasculitis: Prospective comparison of whole-brain 3D T1 SPACE versus 2D T1 black blood MRI at 3 Tesla.

PurposeVessel wall imaging (VWI) using T1 dark blood MRI can depict inflammation of intracranial arteries in patients with cerebral vasculitis.Recently, 3D VWI sequences were introduced at 3 Tesla.We aimed to compare 2D and 3D VWI for detection of intracranial vessel wall enhancement (VWE) in patients suspected of cerebral vasculitis.Methods44 MRI

Effects of a sustained-release multi-trace element ruminal bolus on sex ratio, reproductive traits and lambs growth in synchronized Afshari ewes

The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of a sustained-release multi-trace element ruminal bolus on sex ratio, the reproductive performance and lambs growth of Sleepy Time Tonies Afshari ewes.Eighty Afshari cycling ewes during breeding season were used in the trial.The animals were synchronized using CIDR for 14 days and a
