We had an opportunity to show off the @USCBrainHealth Center's new, ultra-powerful 7-Tesla MRI scanner to local media this morning. This scanner will allow USC researchers and clinicians to see the brain's structure in richer detail than ever before.
University of South Carolina Vice President for Research uses his hands to illustrate a point as he speaks with representatives of the media (just off camera) about USC's new 7-Tesla MRI scanner. He stands in front of a garnet "USC Brain Health" banner and just behind the beautiful new MRI scanner, which is white and still bears protective blue plastic used to protect the sensitive equipment during shipping and installation.
