A new generation of high definition magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines is enabling researchers to gain a far more accurate understanding of the metabolic pathways of the human brain and how these pathways are affected by disease. This new generation is generally known as 7-Tesla, which refers to the strength of the static magnetic fields generated by the machines. These fields are used to cause the nuclei in the body to wobble, or precess, so that a radio frequency (RF) transceiver can detect their movement and generate images. This new generation of machines operates at a much higher frequency than conventional MRI, requiring a better understanding of how the RF transceiver interacts with the nuclei. Electromagnetic simulations were critical in demonstrating how these interactions occur, which helped expedite the design of the new generation of machines.
