When doctors and scientists want to see inside a body, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful tool. MRI can ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The same technology behind MRI images of injury or disease also powers nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, which is used to analyze biological molecules for research ...

Using an ultra-high-resolution imaging technology called 7 Tesla functional MRI (fMRI) on human participants, researchers have mapped how different parts of the brain work together. Specifically, they ...

New MRI technique simultaneously maps multiple structural, physiological and molecular biomarkers to characterize brain ...

Illinois engineers fused ultrafast imaging with smart algorithms to peek at living brain chemistry, turning routine MRIs into metabolic microscopes. The system distinguishes healthy regions, grades ...

The brain MRI is important for the diagnosis of prion disease for ruling out other possible etiologies, but it can also show features suggestive of prion disease. Brain MRI findings are found in most ...

Near-infrared spectroscopy, or fNIRS, offers a way to monitor brain activity without surgery or radiation by tracking changes in blood flow and oxygenation. Light sources placed on the scalp send near ...

Over 1 billion people worldwide are living with one or more mental health disorders that affect their mood, thinking processes and behavior, impacting their daily functioning to varying degrees.

Purdue University physicist Tongcang Li performs optically detected magnetic resonance spectroscopy in his lab. Li and his team at Purdue are working on materials that would improve the resolution of ...
