    Abstract Diagnosis of ischaemia-related sudden cardiac death in the absence of microscopic and macroscopic ischaemic lesions remains a challenge for medical examiners. Medical imaging techniques increasingly provide support in post-mortem examinations by detecting and documenting internal findings prior to autopsy. Previous studies have characterised MR relaxation times to investigate post-mortem signs of myocardial infarction in forensic cohorts. In this prospective study based on an ex situ porcine heart model, we report fundamental findings related to intramyocardial variability and temporal stability of T

    Abstract Objective: This study evaluates the performance of a twisted pair transmission line coil as a transceive element for 7 T MRI in terms of physical flexibility, robustness to shape deformations, and interelement decoupling.
    Methods: Each coil element was created by shaping a twisted pair of wires into a circle. One wire was interrupted at the top, while the other was interrupted at the bottom, and connected to the matching circuit. Electromagnetic simulations were conducted to determine the optimal number of twists per length (in terms of B₁
    Results: Increasing the number of twists per length resulted in a more physically robust coil. Poynting vector streamline visualisation showed that the twisted pair coil concentrated most of the energy in the near field. The twisted pair coil exhibited comparable B₁
    Discussion: The findings highlight the robustness of the twisted pair coil, showcasing its stability under shape variations. This coil holds great potential as a flexible RF coil for various imaging applications using multiple-element arrays, benefiting from its inherent decoupling.

    Abstract The use of 7 Tesla (T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is expanding across neurosurgical and neurologic specialties. However, few neurosurgical-related implants have been tested for safety at 7 T, limiting its use in patients with cranial fixation, shunt placements, and other implants. Implant safety can be determined via the American Society for Testing Materials International (ASTM) guidelines. To assess the current state of neurosurgical implant safety at 7 T, a systematic search was performed using PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of Knowledge, and citation matching. Studies written in English that included at least one neurosurgical implant and at least one safety outcome were included. Data were extracted for implant studied, implant composition, deflection angle, torque, temperature change, and ASTM guidelines followed. PRISMA reporting guidelines for scoping reviews were followed. Overall, 18 studies consisting of 45 unique implants were included. Implants included cranial fixation devices, aneurysm clips, spinal rods, pedicle screws, ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunts, deep brain stimulation devices, and electroencephalogram (EEG) caps and electrodes. Cranial fixation devices, deep brain stimulation devices, spinal rods, and pedicle screws are likely 7 T MRI compatible based on outcomes reported. Aneurysm clips and EEG devices had variable safety outcomes. The VP shunts studied lost functionality after 7 T MRI exposure. We identified several implants that are likely compatible with 7 T MRI. Given the growth in 7 T imaging and expansion of the technology, neurosurgical implants should be constructed with the aforementioned considerations. Caution must be taken with all implants, especially aneurysm clips, programmable VP shunts, and EEG recording devices. It is also noteworthy that several implant testing reports did not report following ASTM standards. This scoping review seeks to concisely summarize all neurosurgical-related implants that have been tested for safety in 7 T MRI. EVIDENCE LEVEL: 2 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 2.

    Abstract SARS-CoV-2 infection in children typically results in asymptomatic or mild disease. There is a paucity of studies on SARS-CoV-2 antiviral immunity in African children. We investigated SARS-CoV-2-specific T cell responses in 71 unvaccinated asymptomatic South African children who were seropositive or seronegative for SARS-CoV-2. SARS-CoV-2-specific CD4

    Abstract Quantitative MRI and MRS are increasingly important as non-invasive outcome measures in therapy development for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Many studies have focussed on individual measures such as fat fraction and metabolite levels in relation to age and functionality, but much less attention has been given to how these indices relate to each other. Here, we assessed spatially resolved metabolic changes in leg muscles of DMD patients, and classified muscles according to the degree of fat replacement compared with healthy controls. Quantitative MRI (three-point Dixon and multi-spin echo without fat suppression and a tri-exponential fit) and 2D-CSI

    Abstract The magnitude and quality of the germinal center (GC) response decline with age, resulting in poor vaccine-induced immunity in older individuals. A functional GC requires the co-ordination of multiple cell types across time and space, in particular across its two functionally distinct compartments: the light and dark zones. In aged mice, there is CXCR4-mediated mislocalization of T follicular helper (T

    Abstract Objective: We outline our vision for a 14 Tesla MR system. This comprises a novel whole-body magnet design utilizing high temperature superconductor; a console and associated electronic equipment; an optimized radiofrequency coil setup for proton measurement in the brain, which also has a local shim capability; and a high-performance gradient set.
    Research fields: The 14 Tesla system can be considered a 'mesocope': a device capable of measuring on biologically relevant scales. In neuroscience the increased spatial resolution will anatomically resolve all layers of the cortex, cerebellum, subcortical structures, and inner nuclei. Spectroscopic imaging will simultaneously measure excitatory and inhibitory activity, characterizing the excitation/inhibition balance of neural circuits. In medical research (including brain disorders) we will visualize fine-grained patterns of structural abnormalities and relate these changes to functional and molecular changes. The significantly increased spectral resolution will make it possible to detect (dynamic changes in) individual metabolites associated with pathological pathways including molecular interactions and dynamic disease processes.
    Conclusions: The 14 Tesla system will offer new perspectives in neuroscience and fundamental research. We anticipate that this initiative will usher in a new era of ultra-high-field MR.
