Summary

Previously, the only way to see cells inside brain matter was to dissect a corpse’s brain and put it under a microscope. Not so useful if you’re a brain disease patient seeking to stay alive. But, what if doctors could look at your living brain through a microscope without making a single incision?
That’s just what Brainvivo has made possible with brain imaging software that transforms MRI’s into virtual microscopes.
Listen in as Brainvivo’s co-founder Yaniv Assaf discusses some of the endless possibilities.
Here’s a sampling of what you’ll learn:

* Why diagnosing Multiple Sclerosis takes 4 ½ years but it doesn’t have to anymore
* How Brainvivo will cut down on misdiagnoses of brain disease
* How this new imaging will help improve early treatment medications for Alzheimer’s and Multiple Sclerosis

0:26.0	This is Richard Jacobs with Future Tech Podcast.
0:28.0	My guest today is involved with a company called BrainVivo.com. We're going to be talking
0:35.1	about imaging technologies of the brain. How you doing? Thank you. How are you?
0:39.7	Good. Yeah. Speaking of brains, mine was a little bit confused today, but so, yeah, if you would, let
0:45.8	the listeners know what you do at Brain Vivo. What do you guys do?
0:49.2	So, Brain Vivo is the next generation of brain imaging technologies which converts clinical
0:56.4	MRIs can into virtual microscopes.
0:59.9	So our mission is to use our novel
1:02.6	HD MRI based on invasive biomarkers to reveal new medical information
1:07.4	based on brain microstructures.
1:09.4	And then what kind of brain microstructures?
1:11.8	Can you give get an example?
1:13.7	Yeah, so if we think of the brain like a like a train station.
1:19.5	So we have the stations and we have the tubes connecting each station to another station.
1:27.6	So the brain composes of mainly of the gray matter which are related or
