The University of South Carolina (USC) and Prisma Health are launching the Brain Health Center in Columbia, which will provide advanced diagnostics and treatments for patients with complex neurological conditions. The center will feature a 3 Tesla MRI scanner and the state's first 7 Tesla MRI scanner, enabling high-resolution imaging capable of detecting minute brain lesions associated with epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and other neurodegenerative disorders. The center will also offer structured lifestyle programs, patient and caregiver support, group classes, and community education.
