Velocity encoded phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (VE-PC MRI) is another imaging technique used to noninvasively measure Achilles tendon strain and changes in its force-displacement relationship concomitant with chronic unloading and subsequent recuperation. This technique will be reviewed in terms of its ability to quantify the Achilles tendon Young’s modulus (MPa) from a stress-strain curve. Higher spatial resolution, high tissue contrast and large field of view (FOV) afforded by MRI also allow one to clearly define and segment the two ends of the Achilles tendon; such capabilities are important for elimination of undesirable strain contributed by exogenous tissues and for consistent monitoring of the same anatomic landmarks over the. | ANTIVIRAL DRUGS -ASPECTS OF CLINICAL USE AND RECENT ADVANCES Edited by Patrick Arbuthnot Antiviral Drugs - Aspects of Clinical Use and Recent Advances Edited by Patrick Arbuthnot Published by InTech Janeza Trdine 9 51000 Rijeka Croatia Copyright 2012 InTech All chapters are Open Access distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution license which allows users to download copy and build upon published articles even for commercial purposes as long as the author and publisher are properly credited which ensures maximum dissemination and a wider impact of our publications.
