MRI of the human brain at 130 microtesla

We present in vivo images of the human brain acquired with an ultralow field MRI (ULFMRI) system operating at a magnetic field B[subscript 0] ∼ 130 μT. The system features prepolarization of the proton spins at B[subscript p] ∼ 80 mT and detection of the NMR signals with a superconducting, second-de...
