Researchers at Yale University report development of a new sodium magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging, or MRSI, method that will help detect gliomas, a type of brain tumor, in a non-invasive way.
Led by graduate student Muhammad Khan GRD ’22 and professor of biomedical engineering and radiology and biomedical imaging Fahmeed Hyder, researchers at the School of Engineering and Applied Science studied tumor microenvironments in rats and developed a breakthrough technique — their MRSI method — for cancer research.
