First in Europe: high-performance head-only scanner reveals ultra-fine brain detail
The Centre of Neuroimaging Sciences at the Denmark Hill Campus is now home to a new investigational GE HealthCare MAGNUS 3T MRI scanner, the first of its calibre in Europe. GE HealthCare is a 30 year-long industry-partner of researchers at King’s.
The MAGNUS system is one of the first high-performance head-only scanners, specialised for brain imaging. The scanner enables more accurate imaging and measurement of brain structures, such as mapping fine bundles of nerve fibres and white matter connecting different brain regions, grey matter and even the protective layer of cells between the brain and circulatory system (blood brain barrier). The new technology will allow scientists to push the boundaries of what is possible in neuroscience and psychiatric research, particularly regarding brain development and ageing, and in neurosurgical applications.
