Comparison of 3T, 7T and NexGen 7T brain imaging

Caption

A comparison of human brain scans using the NexGen 7T MRI at higher resolution (left) vs a conventional 7T scanner (middle) and the standard 3T hospital scanner (right). With higher resolution, neuroscientists can more precisely localize signals (orange) in  the brain to understand the normal brain circuitry and the changes associated with brain disorders.
