Noninvasive Imaging Reconstructs Electrical Patterns in Uterus During Contractions (1 of 3)

Caption

The EMMI system, which was tested in sheep, combines MRI scans with body surface electrodes to image the uterine surface. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Mar. 13, 2019, issue of Science Translational Medicine, published by AAAS. The paper, by W. Wu at Washington University in St. Louis, MO; and colleagues was titled, " Noninvasive high-resolution electromyometrial imaging of uterine contractions in a translational sheep model."
