What is the lowest resolution and sensitivity of your MRI machine and CT machine?
How much down can they go? e.g. 10μm, 1μm? Can they see fibrillar structure of tissue or bone structure with resolution of 1μm (micron) or what is their best resolution for tissue and bone?
Can you see cells and shape of cells?
Have you got any pictures and data to generate the pictures with details/resolution to very small scales (1 μmicron) that you could email me? |

Details of the Response
Thank you for your request to Ashford and St. Peter’s Hospitals NHS Trust regarding MRI and CT Scanners.
The Trust’s Business Service Manager Imaging and Endoscopy has responded:
- What is the lowest resolution and sensitivity of your MRI machine and CT machine? How much down can they go? e.g. 10μm, 1μm?
MRI resolution is not measured in this way and is dependant on many factors which contribute to the image produced.
- Can they see fibrillar structure of tissue or bone structure with resolution of 1μm (micron) or what is their best resolution for tissue and for bone?
As above
- Do you use any marker substances?
No
- Can you see cells and shape of cells?
No
- Have you got any pictures and data to generate the pictures with details/resolution to very small scales (1 μmicron) that you could email me?
No
