It’s Never Too Early to Learn About MRI
Here in the Martinos Center, our education mission extends all the way to teaching children enrolled in the preschool down the street in the Charlestown Navy Yard. Once a year, the Center’s Allison Stevens welcomes a group of the children, explains to them what MRI is and what it does, and str...
Ultrahigh-field MRI Tracks Development of Cortical Lesions in Multiple Sclerosis Patients
The development of lesions in the brain’s cortical gray matter is a strong predictor of neurological disability for people with multiple sclerosis (MS), according to a study reported today in the journal Radiology. The findings suggest a role for ultrahigh-field MRI in monitoring the progression ...
Advanced MRI of Spinal Cord Function Could Provide Important Information for the Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis
A team of investigators at the MGH Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging and Vanderbilt University Medical Center has reported a new approach to measuring spinal cord function that could help in more accurately understanding the degree of spinal cord damage in relapsing-remitting multiple sclero...
