LONDON, ONT. Lawson Health Research Institute has received over $2 million from Ottawa for a project to develop better imaging tools for brain disease. “Imaging technologies, such as MRI and PET scanners, have revolutionized our understanding and treatment of major neurological diseases, including dementia and mental illness, by allowing us to study disease mechanisms and their impact on brain health,” says Dr. Keith St. Lawrence, Lawson scientist and project co-lead, in a statement. “We are developing and testing two leading-edge systems that will enable imaging of key vascular, metabolic and molecular factors linked to disease.” The project focuses on two medical imaging systems.
