| Abstract | Introduction Most conventional MR imaging of the musculoskeletal system is done a 1.5 Tesla. Higher field systems, typically 3.0 Tesla, are now becoming available. 3.0T MRI means a higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), which can be used to improve imaging speed or resolution. However, there are changes in relaxation times at 3.0T as well as increased artifacts to consider. Our initial clinical experience at 3.0 Tesla shows that contrast and diagnosis of pathology is similar to 1.5T, with some benefits from improved resolution and SNR. |
