摘要:
An aqueous dispersion of a graft-copolymer (A), dispersed in water or a mixed solvent (B) of water and a water-soluble organic solvent, the graft-copolymer (A) comprising a polyester (A-a) graft-polymerized with a radical copolymerizable monomer (A-b) comprising a radical copolymerizable monomer having a hydrophilic group, wherein said graft-copolymer (A) is dispersed as fine particles having an average particle size of not more than 500 nm and a half band width of a signal of a carbon of a carbonyl group of the polyester, as determined by .sup.13 C-NMR, is not less than 300 Hz. The aqueous polyester dispersion of the present invention is superior in re-dispersibility and when a paint prepared from the dispersion is coated on a metal or a plastic, the coated film shows superior appearance, processability and water resistance. Accordingly, the aqueous dispersion of the present invention serves well for use for paints, ink, coating agents, adhesives and various treating agents.

While removing signals unnecessary for measuring signals from a metabolite, data required for eddy current correction are obtained in a short period of time. Signals from an unnecessary substance which is not an object of the measurement are removed, and phase data for correcting spectral distortion caused by an eddy current are obtained by a single measurement. Two kinds of frequency-selective pulses of which intensities are adjusted so that the signals from the unnecessary substance should have the same absolute values of intensities and opposite polarities are applied with changing intensities for every phase encoding for at least one axis, and the obtained signals are arranged in a k-space. By removing aliasing of image data obtained from the k-space data, signals from an unnecessary substance are removed, and phase data for eddy current correction are calculated by using a part of the k-space data.

摘要:
A nuclear-magnetic-resonance inspection apparatus that enables an examiner to designate directly a section of a subject to be imaged. The NMR inspection apparatus has a section-designating unit containing reference objects A, B, and C that can be set at three reference points, and can be held in the hand of an examiner to be moved and operated in close proximity to the subject, wherein a prescribed part of a plane including the reference objects set at up to three reference points is the section of the subject to be imaged. While watching the subject, the examiner can directly designate a section to be imaged. Thus, diagnoses can be made easily and quickly.

The present invention provides a measurement system and an image processing system for quantitatively figuring out the fiber bundles which are passing through any VOI. A static magnetic field and an RF signal are applied to a subject, and a nuclear magnetic resonance signal is received from the subject (401). Diffusion tensor is calculated from the nuclear magnetic resonance signals (402). As to a target area for receiving the nuclear magnetic resonance signal from the subject, fiber bundles passing through multiple predetermined origins, respectively, are extracted in a form of a group of coordinate points for each of the fiber bundles, based on the diffusion tensor calculated by the calculating means (406). At least one VOI is set for the target area for receiving the nuclear magnetic resonance signal (408). Out of the multiple fiber bundles extracted by the fiber bundle extracting means, the fiber bundles having at least one coordinate point of the group of coordinate points being included in the VOI are discriminated and the number of which is counted (409).

A DNP means placed in the MRI apparatus includes a sample tube, cooling units for cooling and solidifying a sample in the sample tube, a microwave irradiating unit, and a metal tube. At least a member placed near an imaging space (five-gauss line) of the MRI apparatus is made of a nonmagnetic material, and a static magnetic field generating magnet of the MRI apparatus is used as a magnetic field applying means for applying a magnetic field to the sample for polarization. A contrast agent generated by the DNP can be immediately injected into a patient for imaging, so as to provide an image with high S/N.
