Potential applications of 7 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging in paediatric neuroimaging: Feasibility and challenges

Figure 1 Comparative display of structural magnetic resonance images utilizing 3 Tesla and 7 Tesla systems. A: Displaying an axial fast spin echo image and its magnified view in the left frontal region with the 3 Tesla system. The resolution is field of view (FOV) 200 mm/512 pixel = 0.39 mm/pixel, and the scan duration is approximately 5 min; B: Presenting an axial fast spin echo image and susceptibility-weighted image in the same slice using the 7 Tesla system. The resolution is FOV 80 mm/512 pixel = 0.16 mm/pixel, and the imaging time is approximately 4 min. A and B: Citation: Yamada K, Yoshimura J, Watanabe M, Suzuki K.
