Abstract

The urge to increase magnetic field strength is driven by a number of potentially beneficial physical changes, possibly resulting in improved MR diagnostics. With the successful introduction of in-vivo ultra-high-field MR imaging, by means of 7 Tesla MRI, the focus of scientific research has been set on compiling different applications of brain and body imaging. This review presents an overview on the current status of 7 T MR imaging, investigating the opportunities as well as challenges associated with ultra-high-field MRI.
