Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To test the hypothesis that manganese-enhanced MRI (MEMRI) provides a sensitive and robust measure of an important retinal ionic dysregulatory phenotype in pathologic retinal thinning. METHODS: Four hours after intraperitoneal MnCl(2) injection, high-resolution MEMRI data were collected from overnight dark-adapted male control Sprague-Dawley and albino Royal College of Surgeons rats before (at...
