The ability to follow patients with this high sensitivity allows us to make a more accurate and precise measurement, and we can see small changes or see them in a shorter period of time…,” ...

At the Yale Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Center, an ultra-high-performance brain-dedicated scanner called the NeuroEXPLORER (NX) is redefining what is possible in brain PET imaging. With a ...

Hospital MRI scanners, using 3 Tesla magnets, provide poor spatial resolution in brain imaging. More recent 7T MRIs are better but used mainly in the rare research lab. Scientists have now ...

Adelaide company Micro-X (MX1) has started developing a small CT brain scanner that can be fitted in ambulances and emergency aircraft. If successful, the device will allow paramedics and retrieval ...

A team led by investigators at MGH has developed a low-cost, compact, portable and low-power "head only" MRI scanner that could be mounted in an ambulance, wheeled into a patient's room, or put in ...

A new type of wearable brain scanner, designed to allow people to move freely whilst being scanned, is a step closer to being used in hospitals with the launch of a new partnership. The University of ...

What goes into making a better brain scanner? Gobs of power, for sure. As much as a commercial jet releases when landing, according to one expert. But it also takes detailed knowledge of the human ...

Neuroscientists at the University of California, Berkeley, have figured out a way of recreating visual activity taking place in the brain and reconstructing it using YouTube clips. The team used ...

The secret world of dreams could soon be cracked open. Innovative neuroscientists have already begun to figure out the thoughts of awake people – now, a team reckon they can use similar methods to tap ...
