Magnetic resonance angiography in clinical medicine
Cardiovascular, eurovascular and other vascular diseases are the leading causes of death. Imaging of blood vessels thus important in depiction of stenotic, occlusive, aneurismal, inflammatory or vascular malformations.Conventional x-ray angiography and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) are used to depict vascular lesions with high accuracy via intravascular administration of contrast...Magnetic Resonance Spectrometry for speedy diagnosis of Brain disorders
Imaging modality has yet another discovery to its credit. Magnetic Resonance Spectrometry (MRS) as is it called is a safe, non-surgical method of identifying brain infections such as brain abscess, and an accurate// and rapid way of diagnosing meningitis. The new method will also help distinguish between brain tumor and other types of brain infection in a simple but effective way. Severa...Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy aids in mapping protein structure
New research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has outlined the procedure// to gauge the strength of hydrogen bonds in proteins, the building blocks of life. The study was conducted by the University of Wisconsin-Madison biochemists led by John Markley, Professor of biochemistry. The research focused on iron-sulfur proteins called rubredoxins. These prot...Magnetic Resonance Imaging Can Now Be Used For Mind Reading
Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania have obtained valuable insights into various aspects of memory storage and retrieval using a technique // called functional magnetic resonance imaging. It has been demonstrated that the same areas of the brain that are active during an event are re-activated when a person attempts to recall that event. "This study shows that, as you sear...Three Teslas magnetic resonance imager acquired. Shot in the arm for research
The University Hospital at the University of Navarra and the Applied Medicine Research Centre (CIMA) of the University has purchased a 3 Teslas magnetic resonance// imager for use in research, being the first of its kind for research applications in Spain. The 3 Teslas is the magnetic resonance imaging unit, endowed with a superior capacity under the purview of the international medical b...
