3 T vs Lower Field Strength MRI
Monday, 20 July 2009 11:21
Fundamentally, 3T MR imaging offers twice the signal of 1.5T. Specific absorption rate considerations are becoming less of a limitation due to technical advances and surface coils that are available for all core applications. The greater amount of signal can be manipulated to make scanning more comfortable (scan times that may be half as long) or more sensitive (higher resolution) to smaller lesions (eg, small and early multiple sclerosis plaques). Typical utilization combines both benefits in a given scan. The greater sensitivity to magnetic susceptibility effects offers unique benefits in functional neuroimaging as well as improving sensitivity to brain hemorrhage. Practical considerations make studies of the brain, spine, chest, abdomen, pelvis, as well as the vasculature and extremities obtained at 3T consistently higher in quality than those obtained at 1.5T.
I want to say a big THANK YOU to everyone at Elite Imaging who made my visit such a positive experience. Everyone was kind, reassuring and efficient and we appreciated the great service and the way in which you went beyond the call of duty. Please give my kindest regards to everyone.
Thank you also for forwarding the results to my Doctor at University of Miami Hospital, Dr. Floriano Marchetti.
Dr. Gulec is a very delightful man and I am very glad for the opportunity to see him. I look forward to receiving his report. Needless to say I was overjoyed at his diagnosis.
Praise God for His mercy. May God bless you at all times.

I just wanted to thank you very, very much for the special VIP treatment you extended me during my visit. I really appreciated that you picked me up from the airport. That was really special! Both my doctors received the MRI report and hopefully I will soon be on the road to treatment and recovery. Thank you again for all your help and special attention.

I cant thank you enough for the excellent service the other day during my breast MRI. The technologist and his assistant were extremely nice and very sensitive to my anxiety. Thank you for your sincere caring.
