  2. Phase-contrast imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-contrast_imaging

    Phase-contrast imaging is commonly used in atomic physics to describe a range of techniques for dispersively imaging ultracold atoms. Dispersion is the phenomena of the propagation of electromagnetic fields (light) in matter. In general, the refractive index of a material, which alters the phase velocity and refraction of the field, depends on ...

  3. Phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_Contrast_Magnetic...

    Phase contrast MRI is one of the main techniques for magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). This is used to generate images of arteries (and less commonly veins) in order to evaluate them for stenosis (abnormal narrowing), occlusions, aneurysms (vessel wall dilatations, at risk of rupture) or other abnormalities. MRA is often used to evaluate ...

    Modern 3 tesla clinical MRI scanner. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique mostly used in radiology and nuclear medicine in order to investigate the anatomy and physiology of the body, and to detect pathologies including tumors, inflammation, neurological conditions such as stroke, disorders of muscles and joints, and ...

  5. Phase-contrast X-ray imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-contrast_X-ray_imaging

    Phase-contrast X-ray imaging or phase-sensitive X-ray imaging is a general term for different technical methods that use information concerning changes in the phase of an X-ray beam that passes through an object in order to create its images. Standard X-ray imaging techniques like radiography or computed tomography (CT) rely on a decrease of ...

  6. Phase-contrast microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-contrast_microscopy

    Phase-contrast microscopy (PCM) is an optical microscopy technique that converts phase shifts in light passing through a transparent specimen to brightness changes in the image. Phase shifts themselves are invisible, but become visible when shown as brightness variations. When light waves travel through a medium other than a vacuum, interaction ...

    OPS-301 code. 3-803, 3-824. [ edit on Wikidata] Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging ( cardiac MRI, CMR ), also known as cardiovascular MRI, is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology used for non-invasive assessment of the function and structure of the cardiovascular system. [2] Conditions in which it is performed include congenital heart ...

  8. Magnetic resonance imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_resonance_imaging

    003335. Magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI) is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to form pictures of the anatomy and the physiological processes inside the body. MRI scanners use strong magnetic fields, magnetic field gradients, and radio waves to generate images of the organs in the body. MRI does not involve X-rays or the use of ...

  9. Magnetic resonance angiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_resonance_angiography

    Time-of-flight MRA at the level of the Circle of Willis. Magnetic resonance angiography ( MRA) is a group of techniques based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to image blood vessels. Magnetic resonance angiography is used to generate images of arteries (and less commonly veins) in order to evaluate them for stenosis (abnormal narrowing ...
