The static magnetic field from the MRI scanner decreases blood-brain barrier opening volume
In new research published in Radiology, Hong Chen and her lab at Washington University in St. Louis have found for the first time that the magnetic field of the MRI scanner decreased the BBB opening volume by 3.3-fold to 11.7-fold, depending on the strength of the magnetic field, in a mouse model.it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries.
