Using MRI images and physical calculations, team led by Hebrew University PhD student gains vital data previously available only via autopsy or tissue sample examinations
The “groundbreaking” MRI technology promises to revolutionize scientists’ understanding of iron homeostasis in the human brain.
Professor Aviv Mezer's team at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (HU) recognized that by modifying a related procedure known as quantitative MRI (qMRI), the cellular alterations in Parkinson's may be discovered.
Scientists in Israel have demonstrated a promising new technology for early Parkinson's diagnosis, using a variation of MRI to spot tiny, telltale structures forming deep in the brain as the disease progresses.
MONDAY, July 18, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- It may not be long before highly sensitive scans might spot Parkinson's disease in its early stages, researchers report.
