Nature published multiplexed MRI on May 6. The useful detail sits below the pretty scan layer. MRx uses a standard clinical MRI setting to pull structural, physiological, and molecular biomarkers across the whole brain, then pushes tumors and MS lesions into quantitative tissue states rather than radiologist prose.

That moves MRI from image culture toward measurement culture. A scan begins to behave like an assay, with molecular signals, perfusion, susceptibility, myelin water, relaxation, and diffusion feeding the same coordinate system.

The hospital machine inherited from late twentieth century radiology was built to see gross pathology after biology had already made a mess. This line of work starts pricing disease earlier, subtype by subtype, lesion by lesion, while the naked eye is still congratulating itself for seeing.
