I wonder when this new technology will reach MRI machines?

My wife’s a neuro-radiologist, exactly her field. I’ll ask her.

So you have to bring those N-doped C13 microdiamonds (VERY expensive) to the locus where you want to do the observation.

PS: Just saw that Ajoy said those diamonds would be "relatively inexpensive" but he di not give any indictation. If his reference is compared to big ones (1mm, easily seen) then he is very right. If he compares to run of the mill non doped natural C-isotope ones he is mistaken.

A highly interesting scientific apaper, but lightyears from any aplication medicine in my humble opinion.

@Ponderable
Yeah, discovery to commercial venture is a long operation. But when they say nanodiamond I don't think they are taking about millimeter size , nano implies nanometer sized diamonds, just a guess though.
