Super MRI Study on Urinary Incontinence 9th July 2021
In collaboration with the department of functional neuro-urology from MUMC+ (Maastricht) and Erasmus MC (Rotterdam), we have been awarded with the NWO ‘humane meetmodellen’ grant, that will support ultra-high field MRI research into the neural mechanisms involved in bladder control. In previous years, Scannexus and the dept. of neuro-urology have successfully partnered by studying how regions in our brain stem and spinal cord work together while our bladder fills up. This grant will further these developments by focussing on the overactive bladder syndrome, to discover if this disease is caused by neural malfunctioning. This could guide future treatment. >

Shimming—the forgotten child of in‑vivo MR? 30th March 2021
In a commentary for MAGMA (the official journal of ESMRMB), Scannexus' Christopher Wiggins asks why are the standard techniques for magnet field homogeneity provided by vendors generally from the last century and limited in performance, when in the meantime MRI techniques have used the significant advances in techniques and computing power to perform higher quality MR imaging in shorter and shorter times? >

Research innovative stem cell therapy to restore muscle mass and strength 2th March 2021
An international research team from the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany expect to have a solution for the breakdown of muscle mass and strength within a few years. This can help for cancer patients and children with a (genetic) muscle disorder, but also for the ever-increasing group of elderly people in Europe. >

Parcellation of human periaqueductal gray at 7‐T fMRI in full and empty bladder state: The foundation to study dynamic connectivity changes related to lower urinary tract functioning 22th February 2021
A small brain region in the brain stem, called the periaqueductal gray (PAG), plays an important role in relaying information between the bladder and the brain. In our latest study, we combine 7T functional MRI with unsupervised parcellation methods and dynamic connectivity analyses to create a specific response profile of PAG. This response profile shows how PAG changes its neural interactions as a function of bladder filling state, and may act as an informative biomarker for urinary tract functioning problems. >
