Inductively coupled volume coils that can be inserted to the knee
coil was created. They could fine structures of the specimen using the same
sequence implemented on the whole-body human 7T scanner.

Alzheimer’s disease patient using the D26 coil in isotropic 50 μm
resolution (left: axial, right: coronal). Numerous tiny dots were
considered to be
iron-loaded amyloid plaques.
