At ultra-high fields, the assessment of radiofrequency (RF) safety presents several new
challenges compared to low-field systems. Multi-channel RF transmit coils in combination …

The three goals of this paper are: 1) to evaluate the improvements in technology for
increasing magnetic flux density (magnetic field) to 14 T in the next few years and eventually …

The understanding of the human brain is one of the main scientific challenges of the twenty-
first century. In the early 2000s, the French Atomic Energy Commission launched a program …

Over almost five decades of development and improvement, Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(MRI) has become a rich and powerful, non-invasive technique in medical imaging, yet not …

An initiative to design and build magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy
(MRS) instruments at 14 T and beyond to 20 T has been underway since 2012. This initiative …

Since its development, spinal cord functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has
utilized various methodologies and stimulation protocols to develop a deeper understanding …

Purpose To improve imaging performance for body MRI with a local transmit array at 10.5 T,
the geometry of a dipole antenna was optimized to achieve lower peak specific absorption …

Natural image quality assessment (NIQA) wins increasing attention, while NIQA models are
rarely used in the medical community. A couple of studies employ the NIQA methodologies …

Purpose To provide transmit whole‐brain coverage at 9.4 T using an array with only eight
elements and improve the specific absorption rate (SAR) performance, a novel dipole array …

Multiple sites within Germany operate human MRI systems with magnetic fields either at 7
Tesla or 9.4 Tesla. In 2013, these sites formed a network to facilitate and harmonize the …
