Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images are usually meant to be static. But now, researchers from Mātai Medical Research Institute (Mātai), Stevens Institute of Technology, Stanford University, the University of Auckland and other institutions, report on an imaging technique that captures the brain in motion in real time, in 3D and in stunning detail, providing a potential diagnostic tool for detecting difficult-to-spot conditions such as obstructive brain disorders and aneurysms - before they become life threatening.
New Imaging Technique Captures How Brain Moves
Researchers from the Mātai Medical Research Institute, in New Zealand, and Stevens Institute of Technology and others report a new and enhanced method to visualize difficult-to-spot brain conditions
3D aMRI not only provides a stunning look inside the beating brain , but it can also measure this physiological motion in all directions.

Researchers from Mātai Medical Research Institute, Stevens Institute of Technology, Stanford University, the University of Auckland have found a new way to watch the brain in real time in a development expected to help better diagnose brain disorders.
Researchers from New Zealand are developing a new brain imaging technique which will help detect brain disorders and aneurysms before they become life-threatening and allow the brain to be seen as never before. The new technique, called 3D amplified MRI, or 3D aMRI, reveals pulsating brain movement which could help researchers to non-invasively diagnose brain disorders. It allows the brain’s movement to be seen in all directions in 4D animation models, and could help with everything from brain health to brain surgery.
