A team of medical doctors from the SMC Neurology department visited the SKKU Suwon campus as part of the biannual collaboration meeting between SMC and CNIR. After short presentations by Dr. EH Baek and Dr. YM Sohn, the participants exchanged ideas on mutual collaboration in the fields of ex-vivo high resolution MRI of post operation tissue specimens and human 7T structural MRI using the Terra scanner at SKKU. The meeting proceeded over a working dinner in the 3rd floor meeting room, followed by a tour of the 7T magnet room where the head coil installation and patient table motion were demonstrated. There appears to be much potential for new research directions involving 7T. From today's discussion, high resolution imaging of cerebellum and hippocampus could be one of the first clinical research targets.
