Box-Sized Sensor Brings Portable, Noninvasive Fluid Monitoring to the Bedside (1 of 11)

Caption

The NMR sensor could be used at the hospital for bedside assessment of tissue fluid status. The participant's leg is placed on top of the aluminum platform, which slides onto the bed. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Jul. 24, 2019, issue of Science Translational Medicine, published by AAAS. The paper, by L.A. Colucci at Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology (HST) in Cambridge, MA; and colleagues was titled, "Fluid assessment in dialysis patients by point-of-care magnetic relaxometry."
