Distance between similar points on a sine wave; length of one cycle.

(Wb) The SI unit of magnetic flux.
Definition: The rate (per unit of time) in which something crosses a surface perpendicular to the flow. If the something is a magnetic field, then the magnetic flux across a perpendicular surface is the product of the magnetic flux density, in teslas, and the surface area, in square meters.

Short name: WIN 22181, central moiety: Gd2+, relaxivity: r1 = 9.5
A substance under development (preclin.) as a contrast agent for MR urography.

Developer of Omniscan (Gd DTPA-BMA) one of the Gd-based contrast agents currently on the market.
In the course of different cooperations to develop new agents, Winthrop Laboratories worked together with the companies Sanofi and Sterling. Omniscan is now distributed by GE Healthcare.

Pacemaker lead wires, ECG, and plethysmographic cables can also as surface-coil connections act as antennae. Usually the materials of such wires are not ferromagnetic.

Gradient and radio frequency fields may induce current into these wires and thus cause fibrillations and burns. This presents a risk to the patient and must be eliminated before the examination. The risk of heating during the MRI scan is dependent on the length and the material of these wires as well as the used field strength. If these wires are outside the RF field there is no risk of heating to expect.
