Turning MRI into an early molecular diagnostic tool

The Molecular Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Machine Learning Laboratory at Tel Aviv University, funded by the Israel National Science Foundation, is developing dedicated MRI sequences and algorithms that translate “signal signatures” into biological indicators – with a focus on multiple sclerosis and reducing

Lessons in visualization

With all due respect to electrical signals, the language of the brain is chemistry. In a pioneering study, researchers at Tel Aviv University have managed to use imaging devices to see this chemistry in action.
