Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to analyze the native T1 value of myocardium and the relationship between myocardial native T1 value and gender, age and myocardial areas in Japanese. The subject of this study was 145 Japanese healthy subjects who underwent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at medical examination. MRI scanner was Ingenia 1.5T (Philips Healthcare, Best, The Netherlands). T1 mapping was acquired with modified look-locker inversion recovery method using IR pulse. The native T1 value of all subjects was 983.5±34.8 ms, and we were able to acquire the reference value of the native T1 value at our hospital. The native T1 value was significantly higher in females than in males. There was variation in native T1 value among the myocardial areas, and the native T1 value was significantly higher in the septum than in the lateral region. In the future, collaborative research in multicenter is necessary to obtain the reference value of Japanese.

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...
