| Research Abstract |
Phase difference enhanced imaging (PADRE) enables us to create a novel tissue contrast image due to high sensitivity of the phase image to the magnetic response of the human tissue. Furthermore, PADRE equips exponential function so as to enhance multiply-selected phase bands on the magnitude image resulting in creating various tissue contrasts compared to preceding phase imaging technique called susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI). Several clinical studies have already been started to detect the degenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis on the PADRE image.
