Introduction: Ultra-high field MR imaging offers marked gains in signal-to-noise ratio, spatial resolution, and contrast which translate to improved pathological and anatomical sensitivity. These benefits are particularly relevant for the neonatal brain which is rapidly developing and sensitive to injury. However, experience of imaging neonates at 7T has been limited due to regulatory, safety, and practical considerations.

- Doctors often see fatty liver (hepatic steatosis) in patients needing surgery for liver cancer spread from the colon.
- Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) helps them plan the surgery better, but regular MRIs may not show the full picture of liver health.
- In a study, two patients had extra detailed MRIs, and the results helped explain why one had complications after surgery while the other did not, suggesting that new MRI techniques could improve how doctors make surgery decisions.
