The Full Body Imaging Movement: A Strategic Upgrade of the MRI

Imaging Technology

Since the advent of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam on human patients in the late 1970s, this innovation offered a multi-layered and noninvasive approach to the imaging of bodily organs, functions and the ability to diagnose disease.

Philips Teams with Synthetic MR to Deliver Breakthrough AI-based Quantitative Brain Imaging in MR to Advance Neurology Care for Patients at #ECR2024

Imaging Technology

Accurate measurement of the volume and distribution of different tissue types in the brain is important for diagnosing brain disease. However, visual assessments of MR images are often subjective, and lack the necessary accuracy while measuring tissue volume from 2D image slices is virtually impossible.
