An intense international effort to improve the resolution of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for studying the human brain has culminated in an ultra-high resolution 7 Tesla scanner that records up to ...

Ultra-powerful 7T MRI scanners could be used to help identify those patients with Parkinson's disease and similar conditions most likely to benefit from new treatments for previously-untreatable ...

“With the MAGNETOM Terra 7T scanner, Siemens Healthineers proudly introduces the first MRI field strength above 3T to be cleared for clinical imaging in nearly 20 years,” said Christoph Zindel ...

Hospital MRI scanners, using 3 Tesla magnets, provide poor spatial resolution in brain imaging. More recent 7T MRIs are better but used mainly in the rare research lab. Scientists have now ...

Boulant hopes to adapt some of the new ingredients in the NexGen 7T - in particular, redesigned gradient coils - to eventually achieve even better resolution with the 11.7 Tesla MRI scanner.

Ultra-powerful 7T MRI scanners could be used to help identify those patients with Parkinson's disease and similar conditions most likely to benefit from new treatments for previously-untreatable ...

This study explores the structure of lymphatic vessels in the brain by injecting gadolinium in a 7T MRI scanner. The researchers need a total of 20 healthy subjects. The time period is from now to the ...

You can see this in the image below - whilst some of the image processing likely differed between the 3T, 7T, and 11.7T images, you do get a sense of how much of a step forward this new scanner is.

Previously, 7T MRI scanners have suffered from signal blackspots in crucial parts of the brain, most commonly in the temporal lobes, where most cases of epilepsy arise.
