Laboratory equipment manufacturers cut MRI scan times by 10,000
Aug 31 2010
The team of Max Planck Society scientists have established a number of techniques to accelerate the process in an attempt to overcome the limitations of MRI.
For instance, historically it has been impossible to film moving objects - such as the beating heart - due to the introduction of motion blur.
The scientists looked at encoding spatial information radially, removing its sensitivity to movement as a result.
Meanwhile, they developed a mathematical technique to replace missing data - meaning less information is required to construct a full image.
This means scans can be completed proportionately faster - for example, 20 times faster if just five per cent of the imaging information is required.
Based at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry, the scientists are among a group focusing on the interaction between the three conventional scientific disciplines.
