Abstract

Recent developments in high-field magnetic resonance imaging technology have led to improved contrast and resolution and are opening up new possibilities for the study of human brain anatomy. In particular, techniques sensitized to magnetic susceptibility contrast provide particular advantages at high field that have allowed visualization of brain structures that have been difficult to detect with conventional technology. In this review, some of these developments and techniques will be discussed, and an attempt will be made to interpret magnetic susceptibility contrast based on recent studies.
