...also alter the still developing brain, the cure may come at too high a price, at least for kids who are only mildly symptomatic. To determine if this kind of damage is being done, investigators have been turning more and more to brain scans such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The results they're getting have been intriguing...
...here is an artist--self-taught in math, physics and business--named Alexander Tsiaras. Blurring the lines between science and art, the company's work resists easy categorization. "It's Fantastic Voyage meets the TIME-LIFE Books series," says Tsiaras, 49. He and his 25 employees take data from MRI scans, spiral C.T. scans and other medical-imaging techniques, and use them to create scientifically faithful 3-D pictures and animations. Neither dotcom nor biotech, AT scared off some early potential investors. But Tsiaras, who founded the company in 1998 after a career in digital art and photography, clung...
After he gained control of his legs, Lehe got back into bed and waited out the 45-minute episode before walking to University Health Services (UHS) for attention. UHS sent him to Brigham and Women’s Hospital, where an MRI revealed that he had a stroke...
...Walsh said. “Fast and loose, great velocity.” Brunnig had missed two turns in the rotation with a right arm injury… Junior Trey Hendricks will pitch the second game… Klimkiewicz’s playing status is questionable, pending an MRI after swelling in his right knee. According to Walsh, the swelling may be related to the torn ACL Klimkiewicz suffered last year in high school. Klimkiewicz, who is batting .267 with eight RBIs, joins a list of walking wounded that also includes junior catcher Schuyler Mann (bruised hand) and senior pitcher...
This technology takes advantage of the body's natural magnetic field, measuring changes in the field's energy as patients are exposed to various radiofrequencies. Unlike CT views, MRIs can be rendered in full 3-D because MRI machines can slice along three or more planes, not just one. A computer can then compile the information to generate a sort of relief map of the brain, left, depicting even the smallest brain structures (for example, the brain's center for emotion, the amygdala, in yellow, is deeply buried but visible). Using MRIs, scientists have learned that the brains of schizophrenics...
