Ultrafast ultrasound microscopy of deep brain vessels

This issue highlights transcranial ultrafast ultrasound localization microscopy of brain vasculature, a portable magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner for the head, a portable magnetic-resonance sensor for the grading of liver steatosis, iron-oxide-coated dextran nanoparticles for high-resolution MRI, contrast agents that use AND-gate logic to enhance fluorescence-guided imaging, a contrast agent for MRI that crosses the blood–brain barrier and that is sensitive to electric fields, and a Perspective on technology for 3D pathology.

The cover illustrates the imaging of vasculature deep in the human brain at microscopic resolution via ultrafast ultrasound localization microscopy of intravenously injected microbubbles.
