3D Quantitative-Amplified Magnetic Resonance Imaging (3D q-aMRI)

Researchers from Stanford and Mātai have developed 3D Quantitative Amplified MRI (3D q-aMRI), a quick scan that quantifies tiny brain movements that are invisible on standard cardiac-gated structural MRI scans. This builds on the amplified MRI technique that magnifies subtle brain movements caused by blood flow to the brain as the heart beats. This could lead to earlier and more accurate diagnoses of brain disorders.
