This high resolution MRI scan shows the human hand in exquisite detail, made possible only with a new piece of technology called the "glove coil", designed by a team of scientists at NYU School of Medicine 🙌 While MRI traditionally requires its subject to remain perfectly still, this wearable component fits around the wrist, palm, and fingers, allowing the hand to move freely in an MRI scanner. The glove coil lets the dexterity of the human hand, as well as its internal structures, be captured – all WITHOUT a reduction in image quality 💪. A huge advance in medical imaging! 🔬 📸: Nature Biomedical Engineering, 2018 (doi.org/10.1038/s41551-018-0233-y)
