• New Metamaterial-Enhanced MRI Technology Successfully Tested on Human Subjects

  …tting receiving coil arrays inside the MRI scanner. "We placed such a metasurface under the patient's head, which increased local sensitivity by 50%. This allowed us to obtain detailed scans of the occipital cortex in half the usual time. Such devices could potentially reduce the duration of MRI studies and improve its comfort for subjects", says Rita Schmidt, t…
