MRI Analysis Reveals Growth Trends in Lower Leg Muscles of Children Aged 5-15
Researchers at NeuRA Imaging have developed reference curves for lower leg muscle growth in children aged 5 to 15 years, providing a benchmark for identifying impaired muscle development, particularly in children with cerebral palsy. Researchers and clinicians have long been interested in measurements of physical development during childhood. For instance, reference curves for body height …
PUBLICATION SPOTLIGHT New Atlas Charts Structural Variations in the Human Tongue
A new publication led by Rob Lloyd and Lynne Bilston at NeuRA Imaging identifies gendered differences in the structure of the tongue, and provides a structural atlas for wider use. The complex structure of the tongue provides a large range of motion, allowing it to form the different shapes needed to manipulate food while chewing …
New Phantoms to Enhance Quality Assurance at NeuRA Imaging
NeuRA Imaging has introduced advanced imaging phantoms to enhance quality assurance and standardization, supporting research and clinical excellence in MRI imaging. NeuRA Imaging has recently acquired new phantoms from Gold Standard Phantoms to ensure the quality and reproducibility of images obtained on our Philips 3T Ingenia MRI scanner. These phantoms will play a critical role …
Altered Corticobrainstem Connectivity during Spontaneous Fluctuations in Pain Intensity in Painful Trigeminal Neuropathy
A new publication led by Luke Henderson and Noemi Meylakh at NeuRA Imaging reveals cortical systems underlying changes in perceived pain in painful trigeminal neuropathy. Pain perception is vital to survival, warning us of danger and motivating us to remove ourselves from it. It is adaptive and transient. However, in some cases, pain persists beyond …
Ethanol reduces brain electrical tissue conductivity in social drinkers in a region-specific pattern
A new publication led by Lindy Rae and Jun Cao at NeuRA Imaging shines light on the effect of alcohol on brain conductivity in social drinkers. Ethanol has two main effects on the brain. It acts as a stimulant at very low concentrations but is also a sedative, substantially reducing brain metabolism, particularly through activity …
NeuRA Imaging’s newest tool enables simultaneous EEG and MRI
Neuroscience Research Australia (NeuRA) now offers researchers access to the Compumedics MicroMagLink RT System, enabling simultaneous EEG and MRI studies with optimized imaging protocols. Researchers seeking to utilize advanced imaging technology can now access the Compumedics MicroMagLink RT System at NeuRA Imaging. The system designed for integration with the 3T Philips MRI Scanner and its …
