Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital have achieved the highest-resolution MRI scan of a human brain, capturing details as small as 100 microns using a 7-tesla magnet and custom software. In a related breakthrough, a team at MIT has developed new 3D brain imaging technology that allows for high-resolution imaging of entire human brain hemispheres at subcellular resolution. This innovation, led by Kwanghun Chung's lab, enables comprehensive analysis of brain structures without the need to slice the brain, providing unprecedented detail from the gross morphological level to subcellular components. The technology, which is richly and repeatedly labelable, has been featured in Science Magazine and has the potential to map the entire human brain, providing holistic analysis.

Did you know that MRI machines sequentially samples responses of body tissue to a range of radio frequencies. This is why MRI is so slow -- brain scans can take upto an hour. Our new @icmlconf paper shows that RL can make scanning ~12x faster by selecting the RF to scan. 👇 https://t.co/cj6th65hjS
