Revolutionary MRI Technology Achieves Unprecedented Brain Imaging Precision.

Duke University researchers have developed a new MRI technology using a 9.4 Tesla magnet and specialized gradient coils, leading to an image resolution six orders of magnitude higher than a typical MRI. The voxels in the image measure at only 5 microns, revealing microscopic details within brain tissues that were previously unattainable. This breakthrough in MRI resolution has the potential to significantly advance understanding of the neural networks found in humans by first studying neural structures in mice at this unprecedented detail.
