Dear Susantha,

The best place to obtain info about biomodelling is via the medical RP
newsgroup. You can subscribe by EMAILING medicalRP-owner@qmi.asn.au.

ANATOMICS has an excellent web-site outlining many applications of
biomodelling at www.qmi.asn.au/anatomics.

Regarding your questions:

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance: this is the same as magnetic resonance imaging.
Patients got paranoid about the word 'nuclear' so it has been dropped.

Magnetic Resonance Interferometry: I'm not sure on this one

Neuroendoscopic Techniques: these are techniques used to pass a telescopic
(endoscopic)instrument into the fluid cavities within the brain called the
ventricles. A neuroendoscopist is a neurosurgeon who is trained to perform
such operations.

Acute hydrocephalus is a build up of fluid within the ventricles of the
brain. A neuroendoscopist may diagnose this condition by using nuclear
magnetic imaging to visulalise the ventricles and then use neuroendoscopic
techniques to drain the fluid.

I hope this has helped you.

Dr Paul D'Urso
Neurosurgical Registrar
