X-Message-Number: 18680 From: "John Clark" <> Subject: Digital Visible Mice Will Speed Study Of Genetic Disea Date: Fri, 1 Mar 2002 13:10:25 -0500 Interesting article at http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2002/03/020301072208.htm "Advanced imaging technologies have enabled researchers to produce 3-D "magnetic resonance microscopy" (MRM) images of mice at more than 250,000 times greater resolution than MRI scans used to diagnose human disease. [...] In that scan, they achieved a resolution of 110 microns of the whole mice, and could "zoom in" to scan individual organs at a resolution of 25 microns. By comparison, the width of a human hair is about 200 microns." John K Clark Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=18680
