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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

UC Berkeley scientists have developed a magnetic resonance imaging technique that tracks blood through the brain’s veins back ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Spectroscopy probe could make deep brain stimulation safer and improve success rates. ... Grey Matter, Imaging, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Optical Imaging, Parkinson's Disease, Photonics, ...

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 ...
