Sometimes this is indeed the case. In MRI, the signal-to-noise ratio increases with magnetic field strength. While clinical tomographs are usually operated with field strengths of 1.5 T or 3 T, clinical devices of the latest generation are also available with 7 T. Unfortunately, a higher field strength is often accompanied by increased image artifacts. For example, the wavelength of the transmitting field decreases with higher field strength, so that the images are inhomogeneous in intensity. We are working on overcoming these technical difficulties, establishing various MR techniques to 7 T scanners and being able to apply them in acceptable measurement time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-large has-overlay\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mr-physik.med.fau.de\/files\/2022\/04\/7t-terra-uder-doerfler.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mr-physik.med.fau.de\/files\/2022\/04\/7t-terra-uder-doerfler.jpg\">https:\/\/www.mr-physik.med.fau.de\/files\/2022\/04\/7t-terra-uder-doerfler.jpg<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large has-overlay is-style-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mr-physik.med.fau.de\/files\/2022\/05\/herrler-ptx-cp-mode.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large has-overlay is-style-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mr-physik.med.fau.de\/files\/2022\/05\/herrler-ptx-iop-e1653984991865.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-small-text\">Top: Inhomogeneous appearance due to the short transmit field wavelength at 7 T.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-small-text\">Bottom: Parallel transmit techniques (ptx) increase the homogeneity of the intensity.
