This is the highest resolution MRI scan of the whole human brain to date

This is a 100 micron resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of an ex vivo human brain specimen.
This is the highest resolution MRI scan
of the whole human brain to date.
@advanced_mri
Massachusetts general hospital

The brain specimen was donated by a 58-year-old woman who had no history of neurological disease and died of non-neurological causes. Her family provided written informed consent.they imaged her brain for 5 days continuously on a 7 Tesla MRI scanner using a custom-built 31-channel receive array coil

Holy cow, look at the resolution on that cerebellum, all those dendritic formations of blood-vessels.

[@cunningfox831]

You’re trying to make yourself sound smart and you failed miserably. Blood vessels don’t have dendrites. Also, you’re referring to the cerebral cortex, not the cerebellum. The cerebral cortex is shown in this MRI since it is in superior to inferior view. Instead of feigning intellect, take an A&P course.

[@eduardopupucon]

​@@cunningfox831 The cerebellum appears at the end of the video, he means dendritic as an adjective, denditric means "tree-like", the blood vessels in the cerebellum do have dendritic formations and are described like that, there are many parts of our body described as dendritic, from white blood cells to pulmonary system, he wasn't necessarily talking about the dendrites in our neurons.

Here, the resolution pertains to the amount of slices you can acquire from the object you are imaging. So, the monitor resolution is irrelevant. As for the size of the file, I'm guessing it would not be more than a GB.

Any from 0.5T to 20T plus. These images are probably 7T from Siemens. I did not think you would need 100 hours to get the scans. According to Siemens own promotions, you can detect hidden causes of black outs and predict likelihood of getting dementia. If they can see this with scan under an hour.

If no water in our body this is impossible

[@Minisynapse]

It's not. Water is just so abundant in the body -> lots of hydrogen -> lots of spins -> lots of signal. You can obviously tune the Larmor frequency to any other spins, but you'd get less signal -> less differentiation ability -> less contrast. But nothing limits you from targeting something else than hydrogen.
