New MRI Breakthrough Captures Stunningly Clear Images of the Eye and Brain

Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center developed a lightweight MRI antenna based on metamaterials.

The device improves radiofrequency signal handling, producing sharper images of delicate tissues like the eye and brain.

It may also help shorten scan times while working with existing MRI scanners, including 7.0 Tesla systems.

The advance could support better diagnosis in ophthalmology, neurology, and other imaging applications.
