This protocol describes the analysis of fluorescently labeled intracellular compartments in budding yeast using multi-color 4D (time-lapse 3D) confocal microscopy. The imaging parameters are chosen to capture adequate signals while limiting photodamage. Custom ImageJ plugins allow labeled structures to be tracked and quantitatively analyzed.

Goergen, Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana The objective of this video is to describe recent advancements of computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations based on patient- or animal-specific vasculature. Here, subject-based vessel segmentations were created, and, using a combination of open-source and commercial tools, a high-resolution numerical solution was determined within a flow model.

The production of hyperpolarized xenon by means of spin exchange optical pumping (SEOP) is described. This method yields a ~10000-fold enhancement of the nuclear spin polarization of Xe-129 and has applications in nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging. Examples of gas phase and solution state experiments are given.
FAQs
Motion-encoding magnetic field gradients make moving blood produce velocity-dependent phase shifts in the MR signal. The direction and magnitude of those shifts are translated into vector information, showing both how fast blood moves and where it travels. This encoding allows analysis of directional flow rather than relying only on static anatomical images.
Cardiac gating links image acquisition to phases of the heartbeat, so velocity measurements can be followed as cardiac motion changes. Instead of producing a single time-averaged description, the method captures flow variation across the cycle. This temporal information helps researchers examine changing hemodynamics in vessels and the heart.
The resulting vector fields support quantitative flow-rate measurements and visualization through streamlines, which trace the direction of moving blood. They can also expose complex behaviors, including turbulence, recirculation, and abnormal wall shear. These patterns provide functional information about hemodynamics that may not be apparent from vessel structure alone.
A typical workflow acquires MR signals with motion-encoding gradients while cardiac gating records changes over the heartbeat. The measured phase shifts are then converted into three-dimensional, time-resolved velocity data. Researchers can analyze the resulting dataset by quantifying flow rates, displaying streamlines, and assessing complex flow patterns within cardiovascular structures.
Researchers can apply the technique to investigate vessel function, congenital heart disease, and aneurysms, especially when understanding blood movement is important alongside anatomy. Because it provides hemodynamic information without ionizing radiation, it supports noninvasive cardiovascular studies and can contribute to evaluation of abnormal flow in these conditions.
In biology, the method connects cardiovascular structure with the behavior of flowing blood, enabling studies of vessel function and disease-related hemodynamics. Its measurements of flow rates, directional patterns, recirculation, turbulence, and wall shear can add functional context to cardiovascular assessment. The same information may also support treatment planning.
