Background: Conventional cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) examinations require patients to repeatedly hold their breath, which can reduce examination efficiency and pose challenges for patients unable to do so. This study aimed to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of a full free-breathing CMR protocol in clinical practice.
Methods: Patients prospectively enrolled in this study underwent a full free-breathing CMR exam on a 3T scanner between June 1 and June 30, 2024.

Background: More research is needed to clarify the health effects of dietary carotenoid intakes, and this requires the use of high-quality assessments of habitual dietary intake. Cohort studies from the Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization included a self-administered food frequency questionnaire (TMM-FFQ) for community-dwelling adults. This study evaluated the validity of carotenoid intakes derived from the TMM-FFQ using serum carotenoid concentrations as the gold standard.
