Magnetic Resonance Histopathology (MRH)
Creating a non-invasive, low cost,
MR based alternative to biopsy.
For the first time, MRH provides meaningful diagnostic imaging resolution on tissue at the micro-level (sub 1mm). MRH potentially will lead to a safer, less invasive, less costly alternative for many biopsies routinely performed today of which the majority are negative. This advancement will allow for earlier detection of many diseases and cancers and enable more accurate therapies sooner in the disease cycle to improve patient outcomes and lower medical costs.
