7 T MR: From Basic Research to Human Applications

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover High Field Brain MRI

Abstract

The recent ultra-high field magnetic resonance (UHF MR, ≥7 T) scanners are demonstrating incredible potential, especially in the analysis of cerebral tissues. The technological achievements and the principles associated with the use of 7 T MRI systems are now being turned to applications on human, increasing both physiological and physiopathological knowledge as prelude to future clinical applications.
