Last month, the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging hosted a special symposium celebrating the 20th anniversary of 7T MRI at MGH. The symposium featured talks and stories and other reminiscences from many of the creators and earliest users of the Center’s first-of-its-kind ultrahigh-field scanner. Now, you can watch and listen to the presentations that, together, provide a definitive look at the history of 7T MRI at Mass General.
