Bones and joints, blood vessels, the heart muscle, and the spine are only a few of the body parts and their components, which can be viewed more effectively and in more detail with MRI technology. Teresa Susmaras worked with the Brain Imaging Analysis Laboratory at Suffolk University in her doctoral research.
