An upright neuroimaging device developed by neuroscientists, physicists and engineers allows patients to move around while undergoing a brain scan.
An upright neuroimaging device developed by West Virginia University neuroscientists, physicists and engineers that allows patients to move around while undergoing a brain scan could help set priorities for the evolution of imaging tools.
The scanner is an upgrade of an earlier prototype Brefczynski-Lewis and her team developed with funding from West Virginia Clinical and Translational Science Institute. "The purpose of this study was, we have this new technology and we can model it on a computer until the cows come home. But until you work with actual patients, you don't know how it's really going work in the real world," she said.
"Motion tracking is already made for other technologies, so all we have to do is apply it to our device," Brefczynski-Lewis said."That will help because sometimes we miss the area of the brain we want to see."
