MRI is widely used in medicine, biology and materials science because it can make non-intrusive 3D images of materials. The technique involves placing a sample in a magnetic field and then ...

Medical television shows sometimes depict thoughts skipping across the brain as action potentials that ignite like exploding stars. While it looks dramatic and impressive, today’s brain-imaging ...

A comparison of human brain scans using the NexGen 7T MRI at higher resolution (left) vs a conventional 7T scanner (middle) and the standard 3T hospital scanner (right). With higher resolution, ...

Researchers developed a quantum sensor that, when used with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), has potential to enable the capture of microstructures in living cells. A collaboration of researchers ...

Neuroscientists have been mapping and recreating the nervous systems and brains of various animals since the microscope was invented, and have even been able to map out entire brain structures thanks ...

Red light passes through flesh and bone but it scatters. A hologram can reform the scattered light into an image to see inside the body at high resolution. Sound is used to focus the system. It ...

Intro on the course: This course teaches the fundamentals of medical imaging, including the basic physics and engineering associated with each imaging modality (CT, MRI, PET, and ultrasound), as well ...

Tsukuba, Japan—Magnetic resonance (MR) microscope has previously been used to observe chemically fixed specimens of human embryos during their early developmental stages. This tool has been ...

Radio frequency (RF) probes designed like by microstrip patch antennas create uniform and strong magnetic field in high frequency MRI machines, unlike convention coil and bird cage shaped coils used ...

Researchers at Cornell University have snapped the clearest images of atoms ever taken. Aided by new noise-reducing algorithms, the images are of such high resolution that, the team says, they almost ...
