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