New algorithm could substantially speed up mri scans

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) devices can scan the inside of the body in intricate detail, allowing clinicians to spot even the earliest signs of cancer or other abnormalities. But they can be a long and uncomfortable experience for patients, requiring them to lie still in the machine for up to 45 minutes.


Dat zou leuk zijn. Zoals het artikel zegt: je wordt momenteel nog verwacht 45 minuten stil te liggen... en meestal is het nog redelijk luid ook. Wat korter mag best.
"Invisible Pink Unicorns are beings of great spiritual power. We know this because they are capable of being invisible and pink at the same time. Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them."
