While conventional MRI scans can produce highly detailed images of our internal organs, the process can take up to 45 minutes -- not the sort of delay you want when suffering from a heart attack. However, a new scanning technology from GE promises to cut that time by up to 30 minutes and deliver near-real time videos of the heart in unprecedented detail.
Dubbed ViosWorks, this MRI software algorithm captures the hearts functions in seven (yes, seven) dimensions: the standard 3 spacial, 1 time, and 3 directional velocities. [...]
