Timely and accurate diagnosis of MND is really important for people and will become even more urgent once meaningful treatments are available. We are pleased to be working alongside the Neurosciences Foundation to support this project exploring whether new technology combined with high resolution brain MRI could provide a way forward.
A new heand-and-neck radiofrequency (RF) coil, which has been developed as part of the glasgow University’s Living Laboratory’s Coil Development project, is set to provide new insights into the potential use of MRI scanning for diagnosis and monitoring of motor neurone disease (MND).
This innovative study is funded by MND Scotland working with us here at The Neurosciences Foundation.
The study aims to explore the capablities of the head-and-neck coil, which has been developed in Glasgow by Dr Shajan Gunamony – also with funding from The Neurosciences Foundation – in conjunction with 7-tesla (7T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology for diagnosing and monitoring the condation.
