Researchers Figure Out How to Turn a Glove into an Imaging Device

Researchers at New York University Langone Health have developed a wearable device that takes detailed images of bones, ligaments, and tendons in the hand. The glove-like instrument utilizes a high-impedance coil which prevents electrodynamic interactions with nearby coils, allowing the MRI device to bend and move according to the hand’s…
