Researchers succeed in recording clearer scans to see the brain

After 50 years of technological evolution, scientists managed to produce the clearest brain scans ever recorded.

The new MRI images are about 64 million times sharper than the images usually taken of the brain using conventional methods.

MRI scans are used to diagnose a variety of conditions, from torn ligaments to tumors, and are very useful for examining the brain and spinal cord.

It should be mentioned that American chemist Paul Lauterbur developed the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique in the early 1970s, for which he was awarded the Noble Prize in Medicine.
