Abstract

This paper demonstrates the possibility of in vivo imaging for neuroimmunological assessments using ultra high-field magnetic resonance imaging (UHF-MRI). UHF-MRI provides a highly sensitive MR microimaging technique could be used to identify previously invisible pathologies and cellular dynamics in the central nervous system (CNS) of living animals. Our technique could reveal the mechanisms underlying the immune responses and cell dynamics during neuroinflammation, CNS diseases, and also in the normal state.
