Scientists have developed a new technique for non-invasive brain imaging – and it involves shining light all the way through the head, from one side to the other. Currently the best portable, low-cost ...

For decades, scientists have tried to peer deep inside the human brain using beams of harmless near-infrared light. The technique, called functional near-infrared spectroscopy, or fNIRS, has become a ...

One MRI scan can now reveal how quickly you're aging. Faster aging links to poor memory, chronic illness, and earlier death.

UHF MRI also enables chemical exchange-sensitive MRI or spectroscopy investigations, enabling investigators to assess concentrations of certain neurochemicals in the brain, which can deliver ...

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has become an increasingly common treatment for patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease, but the procedure still carries significant risks. A new probe that performs ...

Radiation-free imaging Pioneering MRI method captures brain glucose metabolism without the need to administer radioactive substances. (Courtesy: Medical University of Vienna) Mapping the uptake of ...

It gives an introduction to methods and applications of biomedical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy, assuming no prior knowledge of the principles of magnetic resonance. The course is ...

Baseline brain MRI results showed that 14% of 101 patients had asymptomatic brain lesions, with higher rates in patients with triple-negative (TNBC) and HER2-positive versus hormone receptor (HR ...

Brain MRI changes usually begin early in the disease process and may be the first thing to raise clinical suspicion of prion disease 5. The aforementioned MRI findings are most likely due to ...

NMR spectroscopy is the use of NMR phenomena to study the physical, chemical, and biological properties of matter. Chemists use it to determine molecular identity and structure. Medical practitioners ...

Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have measured how oxygenated hemoglobin levels in the blood change in infants’ brains in response to touch. Using spectroscopy ...
