the University of Illinois at Chicago announcedthursday thatthe high-intensity mrimagnetic imaging machine developed by the university has completed a safety testandwill be put into clinical useIt will be the world's most scanning medical MRI deviceUnder U.SFood and Drug Administration regulations
such devices must undergo rigorous human safety tests before they can be put into service,tests have shown that
9.4 Tesla scanners are safe for the human body, the researchers report in the journal MRIUnlike current MRI cameras, which use water molecules to track scanning, this high-intensityinstrumentwith sodium ionsThe researchers say the high-intensity MRI will improve its scanning capabilities, allowing doctors to detectdiseaseearlier and better monitordiseaseprocessesDoctors will be able to observe biological processes such as metabolism in the human brain in real time, helping to develop "personalized" treatment options for different patientsFor example, in the future, doctors can use high-intensity scanners to observe thetumorin the patient's brain in real time, adjust the radiation dose at any time, etcFor now, doctors usually wait weeks to see iftumorbegin to shrink under the treatmentDoctors may even see if a single cell inside has begun to die before the tumor shrinks
