High-field MRI
Siegfried Trattnig, Vienna / Austria
1. To learn about the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), susceptibility and chemical shift dependence on the static magnetic field and its impact on achievable spatial and spectral resolution and susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI).
2. To understand the trade-offs, limitations and safety issues with high-field and ultra-high-field MRI.
3. To get an insight into the possible clinical applications where high-field MRI makes the difference.
