Abstract: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the most important noninvasive imaging techniques for human diagnostic medicine. Over the decades MRI quality has improved substantially, through the design of very sensitive multichannel receivers, but designs based on conventional materials are nearly topped out in terms of performance. Thus artificial materials are sought to further boost MRI sensitivity. The authors demonstrate a type of metasurface that can dramatically enhance MRI image quality, allowing the resolution of smaller features of tumors, for example, much more quickly and efficiently.
