Articles about 'magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)'

A clinical trial due to begin later this year will see scientists observing close up, in real time – and in patients – how tumours respond to new drugs.

A partnership led by the Medical Research Council (MRC) has awarded the University of Cambridge £25 million to provide cutting-edge equipment and infrastructure for its clinical research, from imaging single disease cells through to improved targeting of treatments for patients.

A team of chemists from the University of Cambridge and New York University has developed a method for examining the inner workings of battery-like devices called supercapacitors, which can be charged up extremely quickly and can deliver high electrical power. Their technique, based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), establishes a means for monitoring and potentially enhancing the performance of such devices.

Breakthrough offers high-sensitivity nanoscale sensors, and could lead to magnetic imaging of neuron activity and thermometry on a single living cell.

Cancer imaging is set to get a major boost from a £35 million nationwide initiative to develop cutting edge imaging technologies for basic and clinical cancer research.

New study to reveal what happens to the human brain as we mature; research will also provide insight into the development of mental disorders

Cambridge University researchers have discovered that whether someone is a "people-person" may depend on the structure of their brain: the greater the concentration of brain tissue in certain parts of the brain, the more likely they are to be a warm, sentimental person.

Medical imaging in Cambridge is pushing the boundaries in diagnosis and therapy as well as helping scientists within their own disciplines.

Scientists at the University of Cambridge have identified a key component to unravelling the mystery of room temperature super-conductivity, according to a paper recently published in the scientific journal Nature.
