Abstract :
The immune system is a complex network, which is not only formed with lymphatic cells, tissues, and organs but also concerns with central nervous system, like the brain. There have been various advances in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for identifying and visualizing the immune system and immunological diseases. We will present the latest in vivo visualization techniques of immune system with our ultra-high-field MRI system.
