Excerpt

The development of ultrahigh-field magnetic resonance (UHF-MR) is moving forward at an amazing speed that is breaking through technical barriers almost as fast as they appear. UHF-MR has become an engine for innovation in experimental and clinical research [111]. With more than 35,000 MR examinations already performed at 7.0 Tesla, the reasons for moving UHF-MR into clinical applications are more compelling than ever. The value of high-field MR has already proven itself many times over at lower field strengths; now 7.0 T has opened a window on tissues, organs and (patho)physiological processes that have been largely inaccessible in the past. Images from these instruments have revealed new aspects of the anatomy, functions and physio-metabolic characteristics of the brain, heart, joints, kidneys, liver, eye and other organs/tissues, at an unparalleled quality. The number 35,000 sounds large, but in fact we have barely cracked open the door and have yet to truly assess what lies on the other side. …
