Advanced MR clarifies nexus between white matter and cerebrovascular disease
By Shalmali Pal
SAN FRANCISCO - MRI has been a great boon to stroke researchers who are probing the depths of white matter and the reasons for its dysfunction. Unfortunately, standard MR has its limits in this beautiful and complex structure. But recent advances in MR technology should unlock some of the mystery surrounding white matter, according to a presentation at the 2007 International Stroke Conference.

But a new experiment is promising in its use of functional CT to fill a real clinical need. Researchers measured the kidney's glomerular filtration rate using electron beam CT (EBCT) in an animal model.
