Description
ABSTRACT
This review provides a balanced perspective regarding the clinical utility of magnetic resonance systems across the range of field strengths for which current state-of-the-art units exist (0.55 T, 1.5 T, 3 T, and 7 T). Guidance regarding this issue is critical to appropriate purchasing, usage, and further dissemination of this important imaging modality, both in the industrial world and in developing nations. The review serves to provide an important update, although to a large extent this information has never previously been openly presented. In that sense, it serves also as a position paper, with statements and recommendations as appropriate.
