Summary

A compact radio-frequency design improved eye and deep-brain imaging on an existing 7-tesla scanner.

Max Delbruck Center researchers integrated engineered metamaterials into an MRI antenna to guide radio-frequency fields more efficiently. Volunteer scans showed sharper eye and orbital detail with faster collection. Larger multi-hospital studies are planned before routine clinical use.
