Information Database and Search Basics |
|
|
Search result order:
1. Red | [ ] Phrase-based results in terms. |
2. Green | [ ] Phrase-based results in definitions. |
3. Yellow | [ ] Boolean(And)-based results first in terms and then in definitions. |
The use of single- or double quotes to surround the whole, or parts of a searchterm is neither necessary nor useful.
Boolean results are limited to 20, because of their less relevance. In addition, they are only displayed if there are less than 20 phrase-based search results.
The search function is not case sensitive.
More Results (News, Links/Resources, Forum, Database): The search function here is phrase-based. If found, these links point to other services on this site, News, Links/Resources, Forum, Database, where the searchterm was found in addition.
Explanations:
Entry | Each entry contains a term and the corresponding definition. | Term | The heading for a database entry. If the searchterm is found here, the results are marked with a red ball. | Definition | a collection of information - structure and visualization are dependent on the kind of the term. This reaches from the contact information of a contrast agent distributor to the link to an article highlighting the benefits of this new turbo sequence. If the searchterm is found here, the results are marked with a green ball. |

BB-Codes and Automatic Link Detection |
|
|
BB-Codes allow you to format your forum messages. The BB-Code system uses tags in a way similar to HTML. The primary difference between BB-Code and HTML is that BB-Code uses square brackets [xyz] instead of angle brackets <xyz>. BB-Codes and 'Automatic Link Detection' are enabled for text and 'Footer' (your signature). A link written as 'http://www.domain.com' is automatic detected and converted into a link; if this will not work (for example in case of spaces) use [link] as shown in the example. Please, use the preview function to see the result.
Sample BB-Codes and their output:
[b] Bolded [/b]: Bolded
[i] Italicized [/i]: Italicized
[u] Underlined [/u]: Underlined
[link] www.mr-tip.com [/link]: www.mr-tip.com
Automatic Link Detection and its output:
http://www.mr-tip.com: http://www.mr-tip.com
mailto:marco.polo@mr-tip.com: mailto:marco.polo@mr-tip.com |

Forum Footer |
|
|
The 'Footer' contains your personal signature and is automatically added to your message. If you save your signature with 'remember footer', it arises in every forum input form. It can be deleted or changed at any time. Please use preview to see how your changes work. You can use BB-Codes and 'Automatic Link Detection' to format your signature. For details about the use of this two applications please read BB-Codes and Automatic Link Detection.

JPEG - JFIF Compliant [*.jpg].
The manufacturer of your device normally provides a software tool to convert (and anonymize) DICOM images to one of the required formats mentioned above.
Just one of many freeware alternatives:
MRIcro, (Windows, Linux) quick and easy to install and use, allows conversions from DICOM to all major graphic formats. |

Fonts |
|
|
To display mathematical and Greek symbols the symbol font is used. If you are using an unmodified Mozilla based browser like Firefox or Netscape under Windows OS, you will not be able to see special characters based on the symbol font. This font is widely used to express mathematical and physical formulas! Please keep in mind that the use of the symbol font is standard, not only here. The correction in the configuration of this kind of browsers is easy (in less than 60 seconds) to realize.
To configure your browser please view Enabling Symbol font for Mozilla on Windows. There are described two ways to enhance your browser's capabilities in this sense. A small script, which automates this process, and as a second option a small description to manually change the way the symbol font is interpreted. If you are working in a larger network, ask your administrator, he/she will be able to change your browsers configuration. |

Words and Language |
|
|
Typos and wrong wordings happened and will ..., sorry. Please contact us. MR-TIP.com is an international web portal for Magnetic Resonance Technology. Caused by the international idea, the used language is English. In many cases, there are different country-based notations for the same word possible, e.g. American versus British English. The American English, based on 'The Columbia Guide to Standard American English' is chosen. Let's say in honor to the country where this invention started (MRI History). Decimal separator in this sense is the dot (.). If there is no reference for a specific notation, because the technical or medical concept definition is a new or an individual word creation, it is referred to the notation of the developer, for example to the company, which developed this sequence or this contrast agent. In other cases, for example 'Artifact versus Artefact' where no logical decision in this sense is possible; the decision is Internet - majority based.
Language to use in interactive services or when contacting MR-TIP.com should also be English (AltaVista - Babel Fish Translation or Google - Language Tools proved to be useful). |
|
|
|
|
Linking to MR-TIP.com? |
|
|
In general, please link to the Welcome-Page (http://www.mr-tip.com). You can also link directly to for example a special topic as 'contrast agents overview' or a search as 'pulse sequence'. It's easy; just navigate to the desired page on MR-TIP.com and use (copy/paste) the URL from the address field of your browser. |
