Article Snippet: Kim et al., 2012 [ ] , 22 FHR (FDR $ , 23 yr, 36% M) 15 SCZ (23 yr, 53% M) 26 HC (22 yr, 50% M) , 1.5T Siemens Avanto: DWI scan (TR 5.9 s, TE 96 ms, FOV 23 cm, axial slices of 2 mm, no gap, voxels 1.8 mm 2 × 4 mm, b-value 1000 s/mm 2 , and 12 non-collinear directions) , FSL preprocessing. Callosal boundaries traced with Moore–Neighbor algorithm, CC segmented into 200 equidistance surface points, and FA extracted from each. , FA of each surface point assessed for group effects with ANOVA, using age and sex as covariates and using random permutation with p < 0.01 to control the type 1 error rate. , While SCZ showed the decreased FA of CC splenium and genu (trend), FHR had an increased FA of the genu , which may reflect compensatory WM changes counteracting the influence of the genetic vulnerability to psychosis..

Article Title: Intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging and shear wave elastography for evaluating peritumoral liver fibrosis after transarterial chemoembolization in a VX2 rabbit liver tumor model

doi: 10.3389/fphys.2022.893925

Figure Lengend Snippet: T2-weighted and intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion weighted imaging (IVIM DWI) sequences for rabbit VX2 liver tumors after control or experimental procedure. (A,D) T2-weighted imaging for the control group and experimental group respectively. (B,E) Signal intensity (SI) on IVIM DWI for the control group and experimental group respectively. (C,F) The SI gradually decreases as the b value increases both the control group and experimental group, respectively. The whole tumor was outlined with a dashed white line.
