Kanwisher first received MIT's offer last October and accepted this January. She will teach a course at MIT in cognitive neuroscience next spring and in subsequent years will offer seminars on modularity, consciousness and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI...
Given a brace and a referral to a UHS orthopedic surgeon, Sauer was told he had a bruised ligament. His injury was not correctly diagnosed until Christmas break when persistent pains prompted him to visit his physician at home. An MRI showed that Sauer had actually torn his ligament...
...Their primary concern was my immediate well-being," Sauer explains. "The X-ray they did when I first went in didn't show a break, so at that point there was no need for an MRI. It just wasn't a major ligament...
...scientists studying solid-state circuits but was only put into radios in the 1960s. Now, life without the transistor is unimaginable. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) was discovered in the 1940s but was not used as a medical imaging device until the 1970s (now called magnetic resonance imaging). Now MRI provides a significant diagnosing device for doctors. Numerous applications can spring from single basic research discoveries, but those applications are not obvious before the research. Applied research usually takes basic research and puts it to use, and therefore seems much more worthwhile to fund...
...healing arts out of the hospital and onto the road. The result: fully functional EKG machines no bigger than a box of chocolates; blood-sample analyzers no larger than a princess phone; portable ultrasound machines that fit in the trunk of a car. There is even a hand-held mri scanner in the works that is about the size and shape of a catcher's mitt. And last week the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved a paperback-size automatic defibrillator that can shock a stopped heart back into a normal rhythm...
