We develop calibration methods, standards, and contrast agents for magnetic imaging technologies as needed by the U.S. healthcare industry and the U.S. government to advance and validate quantitative biomagnetic imaging methods.
Not all gems are the precious stone kind. In the field of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a type of microscopic magnetic probes called geometrically encoded
Nearly every modern cellphone has a built-in compass, or magnetometer, that detects the direction of Earth’s magnetic field, providing critical information for
Microscopic magnetic probes that change shape in response to their environment may greatly enhance magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, producing the
The Quantitative MRI project develops calibration structures (phantoms) and validates quantitative imaging protocols for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Provides services for SI-traceable calibrations of MRI-based biomarkers (such as proton relaxation times, water diffusion and tumor volume), in imaging
As part of the MRI Biomarker Measurement Service, traceable magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) phantoms are available for loan at a minimal cost, plus shipping
SMART contrast agent project develops multifunctional imaging contrast agents including nano-fabricated agents that can sense and report local properties.
The scope of MRI is expanding with the development of both ultra-high field (14 T) and ultra-low field (0.1 mT) scanners not only for biomedical applications
Smartphone ubiquity has led to rapid developments in portable diagnostics. While successful, such platforms are predominantly optics-based, using the smartphone
