Research Abstract |
Electron Spin Resonance Imaging is a versatile imaging method of visualizing free radicals that are so called reactive oxygen species generated in biological systems. In this project, we have developed the ESR・MRI combined system which is capable of visualizing both ESR image and MR image. With this newly developed system, we plan to do the diagnostic study to screen the metabolic syndrome.
