Magnetic Resonance Imaging

8.8K
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique based on a phenomenon of nuclear physics discovered in the 1930s, in which matter exposed to magnetic fields and radio waves was found to emit radio signals. In 1970, a physician and researcher named Raymond Damadian noticed that malignant (cancerous) tissue gave off different signals than normal body tissue. He applied for a patent for the first MRI scanning device in clinical use by the early 1980s. The early MRI...

Brain imaging technologies provide critical insights into both the structure and function of the human brain, enabling medical professionals and researchers to diagnose, study, and treat neurological disorders or psychiatric disorders more effectively.
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans),  magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),  functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic...

Introduction:Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, can include a specialized imaging technique of the urinary system known as Magnetic Resonance Urography (MRU). This radiation-free technique uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images with the help of a computer. MRU is particularly effective for visualizing fluid-filled structures like the kidneys, ureters, and bladder.Applications of MRI in the Genitourinary SystemKidneys and Ureters: MRI detects tumors, cysts,...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Computational Geophysics
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Current high-resolution brain imaging (MRI, CT) lacks portability and has safety concerns.
  • Existing ultrasound neuroimaging is limited by the adult human skull's interference.
  • Need for portable, safe, high-resolution neuroimaging techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate the feasibility of full-waveform inversion for accurate 3D brain imaging.
  • To overcome limitations of conventional transcranial ultrasound neuroimaging.
  • To validate a novel computational approach for non-invasive neuroimaging.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized in silico simulations of full-waveform inversion, a geophysical computational technique.
  • Employed low-frequency transcranial ultrasound to improve skull penetration and signal-to-noise ratio.
  • Developed adaptive waveform inversion to model and compensate for skull-induced wavefront distortion.

Main Results:

  • Achieved accurate 3D brain imaging with sub-millimetre resolution.
  • Demonstrated effective compensation for skull-induced wave distortion.
  • Validated computational models with ex vivo and in vivo ultrasound data, showing clinical applicability.

Conclusions:

  • Full-waveform inversion offers a novel, non-invasive method for high-resolution neuroimaging.
  • This technique has potential for rapid diagnosis of stroke and head trauma.
  • Enables routine monitoring for various neurological conditions.
