SACLAY/LONDON - Researchers in France are developing an MRI scanner using a supermagnet that would produce brain imaging of a much higher resolution, and could better explain neurological functions and detect illnesses at their onset.
"We hope that this magnet would allow us... to better understand our brain and how it works, and to study characteristics of what is special to the human species, things like music, mathematics and language," Project Iseult Scientific Director Nicolas Boulant told Reuters on Tuesday . Project Iseult’s new supermagnet measures 5 metres in length and 5 metres in diameter, about as long as a sedan, and weighs 130 metric tonnes, the weight of a blue whale. It is built by layering 170 "double pancake" superconductor coils of niobium-titanium alloy. A total of 182 kilometres of wire made of the alloy were used for the magnet.
Once in place, the Iseult could produce images 10 times clearer than those obtained with today’s most advanced MRI machine, which has a magnetic field of 7 Teslas. Classic hospital MRI machines emit 1 to 3 Teslas of magnetic field.
