    TLDR MRI can effectively image skin structures noninvasively.
    The study utilized 900 MHz MRI to achieve high-resolution imaging of hairless rat skin, allowing for detailed visualization of skin structures such as the epidermis, dermis, and hair follicles. Various MRI contrast techniques were employed to enhance image quality, and the results showed a significant correlation with histological data, despite some discrepancies due to tissue shrinkage. The research demonstrated the potential of MRI as a noninvasive tool for analyzing skin morphology, offering insights into its application in dermatology and skin toxicology. However, the study was limited to rat skin samples and faced challenges like susceptibility artifacts and noise interference.
