i met winter be kinda sign ups sheriff gonna call radiology of the university of

edinburgh and the director of a clinical research imaging centre

clinical research imaging centre is a partnership between the university vertebra

and i nature's low the in the so we all four gram patience

imaging services the that ct scanner you seventy percent clinical and all oncology patients to

write require do sort of investigations are being seen

within our centre

but also we have the capabilities present c t where we have various cardiovascular diseases

it also being scanned

in our centre which some patient related care

and the nice thing is the because we are able to the clinical research are

also using

the opportunity to have impatience come to a sentence part of research projects ultimately to

help

find new ways of putting that into clinical practice

a technique that i particular interested in school magnetic resonance e last obviously

mri for shows

at emory measures the stiffness of tissues in the human body

and it does so by the introduction of sound waves into this tissues

by using magnets present see last of a fee will be able to

look at the stiffness of the deep tissues of the body will be able to

see which muscles in a particular muscle group are active in a particular function for

example this could help stroke patients because and its unknown at the moment exactly how

useful exercises in rehabilitation after stroke obviously

it can be quite stressful for the patients have to exercise

why understanding which muscles are affected in the stroke patient we possible to tailor exercises

particularly for the patient

patience benefits of may be able to better understand the value of exercise and stuff

the centre itself as such a state-of-the-art high and imaging facilities

up you have a real possibility of really getting to the actual votes possible currently

but imaging as we are today

about the whole opening is that the by doing so we will be able to

introduce those technologies that as we develop them

interactional routine patient care

and that's the translation that we are over striving for

but the knowledge that appear also able to generate new information and knowledge

of what is you know being used in that she'd issues are people be working

right of stem cells are then also it's of

very basic research at some point lead to make a jumper cables that looking humans

and that's where we want to go
