***In vivo imaging*** T2-weighted MRI of three healthy volunteers (left to right columns) using the bend-MTMA and bend-loop antennas reveals increased intraocular signal for the metamaterial-based bend-MTMA configuration. (Courtesy: CC BY 4.0/*Advanced Materials* 10.1002/adma.202517760) MRI is one of the most important imaging tools employed in medical diagnostics. But for deep-lying tissues or complex anatomic features, MRI can struggle to create clear images in a reasonable scan time. A research team led by Thoralf Niendorf at the Max Delbrück Center in Germany is using metamaterials to create a compact radiofrequency (RF) antenna that enhances image quality and enables faster MRI scanning. Imaging the subtle structures of the eye and orbit (the surrounding eye socket) is a particular challenge for MRI, due to the high spatial resolution and small fields-of-view required, which standard MRI systems struggle to achieve.…
