Multicolor MRIs could aid disease detection
(PHYSorg.com Nanotechnology)

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine have developed a method that could make magnetic resonance imaging-MRI-multicolor. Current MRI techniques rely on a single contrast agent injected into a patient`s veins to vivify images. The new method uses two at once, which could allow doctors to map multiple characteristics of a patient`s internal organs in a single MRI. The strategy could serve as a research tool and even aid disease diagnosis.
