The fundamentals of MRI physics tell us there is more signal to be seen as magnetic field strengths increase, and more ability to encode spatial properties both at the macroscopic scale of our images and at the microscopic scale of cells and tissues when our other “magnet,” the magnetic field gradients, increase their power and speed.
These principles have pushed MR engineers to keep a steady focus on increasing our fields, both static B0 and gradients, to exploit their power and map the underlying pathophysiology of our patients in both research and clinical settings.
This work is built upon more than a decade of collective efforts to push the limits of MRI hardware and acquisition technology for diffusion MRI.
This talk by Susie Y. Huang, MD, PhD (Associate Professor of Radiology, Harvard Medical School & Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, Massachusetts General Hospital) was held and recorded on the 3rd of September 2024 at the Skope User Meeting in Tuebingen, Germany.
