Ultra-high Contrast MRI

UHC-MRI is a new MRI technique that provides up to 20 times greater visibility of the brain and shows abnormalities which are not currently visible on conventional MRI. The method uses a mathematical framework for increasing the contrast and sensitivity of MRI. This makes it possible to design sequences that will detect very subtle abnormalities.

Once validated UHC-MRI could be applied to images obtained on any clinical scanners across the globe and could be a game changer for neurological conditions like multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, neuroinflammation, brain tumours, and much more.

UHC-MRI was developed by Emeritus Professor Graeme Bydder, Paul Condron, Mātai team members, and other collaborators.
