This image made with the Iseult Magneton 11.7 T MRI shows a brain during a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam simulation at the Neurospin facilities in the Paris-Saclay Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA - Commissariat a l'energie atomique et aux energies alternatives) centre in Gif-sur-Yvette, on March 22, 2024. "Iseult", the world's most powerful MRI scanner, has delivered its first images of the human brain and is expected to provide a better understanding of its functioning and of certain neurodegenerative and psychiatric diseases. The technical feat is the result of a French-German partnership which has required more than 20 years of research.
