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
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.
The Hebrew University of Jerusalem (HU) researchers, led by Professor Aviv Mezer, realized that the cellular changes in Parkinson's could possibly be revealed by adapting a related technique, known as quantitative MRI (qMRI).
Parkinson's is a progressive and debilitating disease of the brain that eventually compromises patients' ability to walk and even to talk. Its diagnosis is complex, and in the early stages – impossible.
Cellular changes associated with Parkinson's disease could be revealed with the use of quantitative MRI which allows for a deeper examination of microstructures within the striatum.
