Non-invasive in vivo histology in health and disease using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (hMRI)
hMRI: extracting histological information from MRI acquisitions
The aim of the ERC-funded histology-MRI (hMRI) project, shown schematically in the image below, is to be able to extract detailed information about the cortex of the human brain, presently available only from invasive ex vivo histology, in vivo using non-invasive MRI. Potential applications of hMRI are numerous; as just two examples, in vivo histology may allow clinicians to diagnose several diseases that can currently only be confirmed post-mortem through ex vivo histology, and neuroscientists to directly
