Measure: To estimate the cranial capacity of each skull in the Gizmo, measure the area of the part of the cranium that houses the brain. This part of the cranium is roughly behind the red line in the diagram at right.
Chemical dyes are sometimes injected into patients prior to an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) to enhance internal images. However, certain widely used MRI dyes may cause a number of side effects, including a serious, potentially fatal disease known as nephrogenic systemic fibrosis, or NSF.
MRI (High-Field, Non-Claustrophobic) What is Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)? Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a technique that allows doctors to see inside the body in remarkable detail without using radiation. Instead, MRI uses a powerful magnet, radio waves, and a sophisticated computer system to produce pictures of various parts of the body. All Metro Imaging facilities feature high-field, non-claustrophobic MRI units.
