How is Non-Destructive Imaging Applied in Research and Medicine?
Non-destructive imaging has numerous applications in both research and clinical settings:
Neuroscience: Techniques like MRI and multiphoton microscopy are used to study brain structure and function in live animals and humans. Oncology: Non-destructive imaging helps in detecting and monitoring the progression of tumors without the need for invasive biopsies. Developmental Biology: Researchers use these methods to observe embryonic development and tissue differentiation in real-time. Cardiology: Ultrasound and MRI are employed to assess heart function and detect cardiovascular diseases.
