However, MRI technology faces a major challenge: Producing highly detailed images usually requires longer scan times, making it difficult to track the flow of contrast material through the examined tissue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A group of researchers from the Technion and the United States reports a breakthrough in MRI scanning in a paper published in Nature Communications.
