MedTech I.Q.

The Cutting Edge of Medical Technology Content, Community & Collaboration

A message from CC...Conrad Clyburn (Clymer Grp) to all members of Advanced Medical Imaging on MedTechIQ!

Colleagues,

As reported in MIT Tech Review ... A novel method of transferring magnetic spin can amplify the sensitivity of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) a thousandfold, according to new research from the University of York in the United Kingdom. Scientists say the leap could be as revolutionary for medicine as the development of MRI was 30 years ago...

... The technology allows MRI images to be captured much more rapidly and cheaply than is possible with existing methods...The new method, published today in the journal Science, enables the magnetization of a broad range of molecules--including drugs such as nicotine, and organic molecules such as antibodies designed to bind to tumors--so that they can be used as contrast agents...

ENJOY!
