Real-time footage from the #MRI scan of a person's #brain, moving from the back to the front.

Ultra-high field MRI using scanners equipped with 7T magnets is an area of intensive #research and development internationally, representing the cutting edge of biomedical imaging in humans. Over the last decade, 7T MRI scanners have evolved from bespoke research systems into clinical research tools within the reach of the broader imaging community. 7T MRI has greatly enhanced the range of anatomical, functional and metabolic features that can be visualised in the intact body, and particularly in the brain.

MRC has invested in new 7T scanners in partnership with:

University of Cambridge (CRI, 2014)
Cardiff University (CRI, 2014)
University of Glasgow (Glasgow and Clyde Valley City Deal, 2015).
We also supported the refurbishment of existing 7T facilities at University of Nottingham and upgraded the 3T MRI scanner at the Dementia Research Scanner Centre, University College London.
