• Research summary

  Fast Field-Cycling MRI (FFC MRI) is a new scanning technology being developed at the University of Aberdeen. Previous pilot studies by our team on osteoarthritis, breast cancer, musculoskeletal cancer, liver fibrosis, thrombosis and muscle damage have demonstrated that FFC MRI provides useful information for clinical diagnostics in a variety of pathologies.
  The aim of this study is to ascertain if brain imaging with FFC MRI yields any useful information in the diagnosis and evaluation of Alzheimer's disease.
