For the tiniest patients, new tech brings clearer MRI images
Some of medicine's smallest patients can present its biggest imaging challenges. An infant's heart can be as small as a walnut, beating rapidly inside a body that will change dramatically as the child grows.
AI Summary
USC researchers have created flexible MRI sensors that can be 3‑D printed in under 10 minutes for roughly $30 and customized to each patient. In tests the sensors yielded about four times greater image contrast than standard commercial sensors, addressing the difficulty of imaging very small patients such as infants with tiny, rapidly beating hearts. The findings were published in Nature Communications.
