Identification and Morphologic Assessment of Mesocoelic Recess by In Vivo Human Brain Imaging With 7.0-T Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Abstract

This study on the anatomy of the MCR of adult brains in vivo is the first of its kind, thanks to the availability of 7.0-T MRI because it has been barely discernible even in autopsy specimens as well as in radiology owing to the resolution limit of the currently available imaging system. The current study raises awareness of the MCR, an important but little-known anatomic structure in adult human brain. This visualization of MCR in human in vivo with ultrahigh-field MRI will certainly provide us important clues including the functional information of MCR, a mystery of modern neurological science.
