Clinical features Incidence is four times higher for HbSS than HbSC. Initial episode most often occurs during the first 10 years of life. "Silent infarcts" as evidenced by changes on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have been reported in 21.8% of HbSS and may be associated with increased risk of stroke and decreased neurocognitive function. 

Localized malignant mesotheliomas occur > and show the same histologic and immunohistochemical features of diffuse malignant mesotheliomas. However, mesotheliomas may be diffuse and beyond the resolution of current radiographic techniques (e.g., computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging) and initially appear as localized. 

With positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), one can map out the regions of neuronal activity in the brain from birth to death in experimental animals and humans. The encoding of information in the brain is based on networks of activated neurons and specific molecules that contain information encoding features of the environment. Neuronal networks encode features of objects in the external world. The hrain also stores "molecules of the mind. ... 

NMR can be used for the accurate determination of nuclear moments. It can also be used in a sensitive form of magnetometer to measure magnetic fields. In medicine, magnetic resonance Imaging (MRI) has been developed, in which images of tissue are produced by magnetic-resonance techniques. Functional MRI (fMRI) can detect changes in blood flow that accompany neural activity and is therefore used to study brain function. See Feature.
