HTTP:: Hyper SAGE Amplifies Remote MRI Signals
--------
nn Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) investigations are among the most widely used medical tests in the world at this point, as they can provide a clear, 3D view of what is going on inside a patient. Cancer tumors and other abnormalities inside tissues and organs can also be viewed in extensive detail, which helps inform healthcare experts' decisions in establishing a cure. Now, the method gets a new boost. With the addition of the Hyper-SAGE method, it's now able to detect much smaller targets than ever before. “Hyper-SAGE is a totally novel way to amplify a solvated xenon MRI/NMR signal in that instead of a chemical process, which is what previous signal enhancement techniques relied upon, it is a physical process. Because gas can be physically compressed, the density of information-carrying polarized gas in our detection chamber can be much greater than the density of an information-carrying solution. This means we can detect MRI signals from concentrations of molecu!
les many thousands of times smaller than can be detected with conventional MRI,” research group member Xin Zhou explains. In charge of the new research has been internationally renowned MRI expert Alexander Pines. The chemist holds a joint appointment, in the US Department of Energy (DOE) Lawrence Berkeley Natio...
