Making the Invisible Visible Through Research
The Royal's Brain Imaging Centre is a state-of-the art research facility featuring a positron emission tomography-magnetic resonance imaging (PET-MRI) scanner — the first of its kind in Canada dedicated solely to mental health and neuroscience research.
Through advanced neuroimaging, researchers are able to effectively look inside the brain and “see” mental illness, which is helping to inform the development of more precise diagnostics and therapies.
With brain imaging, we are making important strides towards making the invisible visible when it comes to mental illness; demonstrating that like any other medical condition, depression and related mental health disorders have an objective biology.
