Scans on the Brain

Comments (0)

This Mathematics Matters case study, produced by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, looks at how mathematical research contributes to the development of new medical imaging technology. Brain scans play a vital role in the treatment of many serious medical conditions, but decoding the signals inside our minds would not be possible without a variety of mathematical techniques. The resource can be used by teachers to guide their students or shared directly with students to inform them about careers using mathematics.
