Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is one of the few non-invasive imaging modalities capable of making neurochemical and metabolic measurements . Traditionally, the clinical utility of MRS has been narrow. The most common use has been the "single-voxel spectroscopy" variant to discern the presence of a lactate peak in the spectra in one location in the brain, typically to evaluate for ischemia in neonates.

Whole brain segmentation is a key neuroimaging technique that allows for region-by-region analysis of the brain. Segmentation is also an important preliminary step that provides spatial and volumetric information for running other neuroimaging pipelines.

7T MRI provides unprecedented resolution for examining human brain anatomy . For example, 7T MRI enables deep thickness measurement of laminar subdivisions in the right fusiform area. Existing laminar thickness measurement on 7T is labor intensive, and error prone since the visual inspection of the image is typically along one of the three orthogonal planes (axial, coronal, or sagittal view).
