• Research summary

  Fast Field Cycling MRI (FFC MRI) is a new scanning technology which is 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 observe brain lesions with Fast Field Cycling MRI to discover differences in the signal given by various types of brain lesions.
