0:00:01 | i met winter be kinda sign ups sheriff gonna call radiology of the university of |
---|
0:00:05 | edinburgh and the director of a clinical research imaging centre |
---|
0:00:11 | clinical research imaging centre is a partnership between the university vertebra |
---|
0:00:15 | and i nature's low the in the so we all four gram patience |
---|
0:00:19 | imaging services the that ct scanner you seventy percent clinical and all oncology patients to |
---|
0:00:26 | write require do sort of investigations are being seen |
---|
0:00:29 | within our centre |
---|
0:00:32 | but also we have the capabilities present c t where we have various cardiovascular diseases |
---|
0:00:38 | it also being scanned |
---|
0:00:40 | in our centre which some patient related care |
---|
0:00:43 | and the nice thing is the because we are able to the clinical research are |
---|
0:00:46 | also using |
---|
0:00:48 | the opportunity to have impatience come to a sentence part of research projects ultimately to |
---|
0:00:54 | help |
---|
0:00:54 | find new ways of putting that into clinical practice |
---|
0:00:59 | a technique that i particular interested in school magnetic resonance e last obviously |
---|
0:01:04 | mri for shows |
---|
0:01:05 | at emory measures the stiffness of tissues in the human body |
---|
0:01:09 | and it does so by the introduction of sound waves into this tissues |
---|
0:01:14 | by using magnets present see last of a fee will be able to |
---|
0:01:18 | look at the stiffness of the deep tissues of the body will be able to |
---|
0:01:23 | see which muscles in a particular muscle group are active in a particular function for |
---|
0:01:28 | example this could help stroke patients because and its unknown at the moment exactly how |
---|
0:01:33 | useful exercises in rehabilitation after stroke obviously |
---|
0:01:38 | it can be quite stressful for the patients have to exercise |
---|
0:01:42 | why understanding which muscles are affected in the stroke patient we possible to tailor exercises |
---|
0:01:50 | particularly for the patient |
---|
0:01:53 | patience benefits of may be able to better understand the value of exercise and stuff |
---|
0:01:58 | the centre itself as such a state-of-the-art high and imaging facilities |
---|
0:02:03 | up you have a real possibility of really getting to the actual votes possible currently |
---|
0:02:07 | but imaging as we are today |
---|
0:02:10 | about the whole opening is that the by doing so we will be able to |
---|
0:02:13 | introduce those technologies that as we develop them |
---|
0:02:16 | interactional routine patient care |
---|
0:02:20 | and that's the translation that we are over striving for |
---|
0:02:24 | but the knowledge that appear also able to generate new information and knowledge |
---|
0:02:28 | of what is you know being used in that she'd issues are people be working |
---|
0:02:33 | right of stem cells are then also it's of |
---|
0:02:36 | very basic research at some point lead to make a jumper cables that looking humans |
---|
0:02:41 | and that's where we want to go |
