Cryogenically-cooled technology significantly enhances current capabilities of cardiac and brain MRI in mice

To effectively study cardiac morphology and function, or follow neuroinflammatory processes in the brain, image quality is everything. The current capabilities of cardiac and brain MRI in mice are being significantly enhanced by cryogenically-cooled technology, which is proving invaluable to researchers around the world.

Molecular imaging and multimodality: an interview with Professor Silvio Aime, University of Turin

Molecular imaging aims at the visualization of molecules or molecular events that occur at the cellular level. Clearly it also allows the possibility of looking inside the biochemical pathway at the cellular level and therefore enables us to look at the onset of diseases well before they are resolved into structural change.
