Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has advanced as one of the major tools for diagnostic imaging. The current benchmark in clinical imaging continues to be 1.5 T scanners. This review article examines if 3 T MRI is ready for prime time clinical applications. In the first part of the article, the history of clinical scanners will be discussed, including the 3 T development. The focus will then shift to the challenges and opportunities that 3 T's increased field strength brings. Special safety considerations and the technical requirements will be described, as well as a description of specific applications, along with the benefits and challenges at 3 T. The final sections will focus on a summary of optimization strategies and the importance of understanding the differences in imaging at 3 T.
