With the advancement of the magnetic resonance (MR) technology, the whole-body ultrahigh field MR system operated from 7 to 9.4 T becomes feasible for the routine patient imaging in clinical settings. The associated potentials and challenges from the perspectives of technology, physics, and biology as well as clinical application of the ultrahigh field MR systems are different from those systems operated at 3 T, 1.5 T, or lower field strength. In this article, we will present our initial experiences of brain tumor imaging using the 7 and 8 T whole-body MR systems at the Ohio State University Medical Center and provide a brief overview pertinent to the ultrahigh field clinical MR systems.
随着磁共振(MR)技术的进步,7至9.4T的全身超高场MR系统在临床环境中用于常规患者成像变得可行。超高场MR系统在技术、物理、生物学以及临床应用方面的相关潜力和挑战与3T、1.5T或更低场强的系统不同。在本文中,我们将介绍我们在俄亥俄州立大学医学中心使用7T和8T全身MR系统进行脑肿瘤成像的初步经验,并简要概述与超高场临床MR系统相关的内容。
