He does so the same way he would have with a human brain. He scanned fruits and vegetables like bananas, garlic, jackfruit, pineapples, onions, passion fruit and many others. The MRI technologist used a [Philips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitten-scanner) 3 Tesla MRI. This machine is located at the [Boston University Medical School](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/print-develop-coat-process). It is definitely a very interesting look into the fruits and vegetables that we should be eating. The MRI scanned food is mesmerizing beautiful.
