Magnetic resonance imaging of atherosclerotic lesion with new devised animal surface coil

The ability of dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging(DCE MRI) with a new devised animal surface coil was analyzed in identifying atherosclerotic plaques in the rabbit medium-sized iliac artery(IA).Then a comparative analysis of multi-detector computed tomography(MDCT) and DCE MRI was done in discerning morphology and components of 80 atherosclerotic plaques identified by histopathology.It shows that the DCE MRI may be an emerging noninvasive and economic way to characterize atherosclerotic plaques at present.What's more, a new devised animal surface coil would further improve the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) and the quality of imaging.However, CT angiography(CTA) may be better than MR angiography(MRA) in detecting vessel stenosis.     

轴瓦套张开位移的有限元计算

汽轮机在运行过程中,轴推压轴瓦套,使轴瓦套中产生应力和应变,在上下轴瓦套之间产生的一定的张开量.采用ABAQUS软件,建立有限元物理模型,对实际工况进行仿真,计算出上下轴瓦套之间的张开量,并进行应力分析,确定该工况下所产生的张开量是符合要求的.在建立有限元模型过程中,充分考虑轴瓦与轴、轴瓦与螺栓以及上下轴瓦套之间的接触效应,螺栓的联接和螺栓预紧力的作用.
