Mouse MRI: concepts and applications in physiology.
The purpose of this review is to provide an introduction to the rapidly expanding field of mouse magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It is by no means meant to be all-inclusive but rather to provide a brief introduction to the basics of MRI theory, provide some insight into the basic experiments that can be performed in mice by using MRI, and bring to light some factors to consider when planning a mouse MRI experiment.
