Biochemistry of the uterus studied by magnetic resonance techniques.

摘要

agnetic resonance (MR) is a rapidly growing versatile and non-destructive tool for investigation of various aspects of biochemistry, physiology and disease. It is valuable to evaluate the new MR techniques and apply them to the most important problems for which they are best suited. This study involves using two new magnetic resonance techniques, Spectral Localization by IMaging (SLIM) and Diffusion-Weighted Imaging (DWI) in studies of uterine biochemistry. The work presented strives to: (1) investigate the relation between biochemical and structural heterogeneity in normal and abnormal uterus using high resolution ;The study has three parts. First, there are significant differences in biochemistry among the various tissue types in hysterectomized human uterus as revealed by high resolution
