Abstract

MR microscopy at 9.4T depicts the architecture of the brain in exquisite detail, including the individual laminae of the cortex, the individual nuclei of the basal ganglia, the thalami, subthalami and metathalami, and the orientations and relationship among the dominant nuclei and white matter tracts of the brain. The authors believe that these anatomic relations will ultimately be displayed in vivo as clinical MR scanners begin to operate at field strengths of 4.7T, 7T, and 8T. Then, those familiar with this anatomy will be able to interpret patient images with far greater sophistication.
