Fig 1.
Overview axial and coronal sections for each of the four contrasts: uniform T1-weighted image (MP2RAGE UNI), quantitative T1 map (MP2RAGE T1), Turbo-Spin Echo (TSE), and Gradient-Recalled Echo (GRE).
Fig 2.
Zoomed sections of the basal ganglia and middle-brain for each of the four ultra-high resolution contrasts; mml: medial medullary lamina; mtt: mamillothalamic tract; lml: lateral medullary lamina; GPe: Globus Pallidus externus; Gpi: Globus Pallidus internus; Pulv: Pulvinar; STh: Sub-Thalamic nucleus; VPL: Ventral Posterior Lateral nucleus; VL: ventral lateral nucleus; VA: Ventral Anterior nucleus; MD Mediodorsal nucleus; SC superior colliculus; IC inferior colliculus.

ATW: Area Triangularis of Wernicke; C: Nucleus Caudatus; Ncl R: Nucleus Reticularis; L: Nucleus Lentiformis; LGN: Lateral Geniculate Ganglion; MD: Mediodorsal Nucleus; STh: Sub-Thalamic nucleus; VM: ventral Medial nucleus; VLPd: Ventral Lateral Posterior nucleus, dorsal division; VLPv: Ventral Lateral Posterior nucleus, ventral division.
Fig 4.
(Upper Row) Oblique axial and sagittal cross-sections from the TSE images of the hippocampus, and (Lower Row) zoomed in coronal section through the hippocampal head and body.
The digitationes hippocampi are particularly clearly depicted. The segments of the cornu ammonis, and the dentate gyrus can also be visualized. The contours of the amygdala are also well delimited. The right-hand panel shows a 3D rendering of the hippocampus after manual segmentation from this data. CA: Cornu Ammonis; GD: Gyrus Dentatus.

Arrow heads: The stria of Gennari in the primary visual cortex. Arrows: intracortical contrast in the parietal cortex.
Fig 6.
Visual comparison of a zoomed section of the MP2RAGE UNI image at the acquired nominal resolution of 350 μm isotropic resolution (right), and after downsampling to 500 μm (middle) and 1 mm (left) isotropic resolutions.
The voxel volume is also shown in nanoliters.
