Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and methods for increasing tissue-radiosensitivity through induction of local hyperthermia. In particular, the present invention provides superparamagnetic, paramagnetic, or ferromagnetic radioactive particles that heat surrounding tissue upon magnetic induction, and methods of use thereof. In some embodiments, the present invention provides compositions and methods for thermoradiotherapy (e.g. anti-tumor therapy).

Abstract: In a magnetic resonance imaging method and apparatus, sensitivity encoding (SENSE) with radial sampling trajectories combines the gridding principle with conjugate-gradient least-squares (CGLS) iterative reconstruction. Radial k-space is mapped to a larger matrix by a resealing factor to eliminate the computational complexity of conventional gridding and density compensation. To improve convergence rate of high spatial frequency signals in CGLS iteration, a spatially invariant de-blurring k-space filter uses the impulse response of the system. This filter is incorporated into the SENSE reconstruction as preconditioning. The optimal number of iterations represents a tradeoff between image accuracy and noise over several reduction factors.

Abstract: Synchronizing MR images to the motion of a patient, e.g., to the beating of the heart, respiration of the lungs, or motion of a limb, by extracting timing information from the MR imaging data, itself, rather than relying solely on additional data acquired solely for timing.
