Executive Summary
Higher-field MRI is beginning to arrive in clinical practice, where 3 Tesla systems are often used as a second look, after conventional MRI or other diagnostic methods reveal suspicious findings, for diseases like epilepsy, or to pre-operatively image the extent and location of breast cancer. MR Instruments offers specialized radiofrequency (RF) coils especially suited to high field systems, to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of MR for clearer pictures and to also help researchers obtain other information, like the spectral characteristics of chemicals in the tissue for the study of metabolic processes.
