Do ordinary surface ECG electrodes accurately reflect cardiac electric activity at hypothermia?
Surface electrodes had a similar high accuracy to indicate electric activity as needle electrodes. Higher amplification and reduction of the timebase made it possible to detect ECG in a situation where asystole was indicated by commercial monitors.
DW imaging based on readout-segmented echo-planar imaging provided significantly higher image quality and lesion conspicuity than single-shot echo-planar imaging by reducing geometric distortions, image blurring, and artifact level with a clinical high-field-strength MR imager. Thereby, readout-segmented echo-planar imaging reached a higher diagnostic accuracy for the differentiation of benign and malignant breast lesions.
