- Iseult can help refine our understanding of anatomy of brain.
- It could also shed light on diseases like Alzheimer's or psychological conditions like depression or schizophrenia.
- About Iseult
- Iseult has power of 11.7 teslas which enables it to scan images with 10 times more precision than commonly used MRIs.
- Tesla is a measure of strength of magnetic field that surrounds a patient when they're in MRI machine.
- Iseult has power of 11.7 teslas which enables it to scan images with 10 times more precision than commonly used MRIs.
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Technology
- MRI is non-invasive medical imaging test that produces detailed images of almost every internal structure in human body.
- They use large magnet and radio waves. No ionizing radiation is produced during an MRI exam, unlike X-rays.
- Magnetic field inside works with radio waves and hydrogen atoms in body to create cross-sectional images.
- Applications
- Images produced by an MRI scan can show organs, bones, muscles and blood vessels.
- MRI is widely used in medical diagnosis and treatment planning for brain disorders, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, etc.
- Functional MRI (fMRI), a special type of MRI produces images of blood flow to certain areas of brain which help in brain surgery.
