Current status and future perspectives of magnetic resonance high-field imaging: a summary

Neuroimaging Clin N Am. 2012 May;22(2):373-97, xii. doi: 10.1016/j.nic.2012.02.012.

Abstract

There are several magnetic resonance (MR) imaging techniques that benefit from high-field MR imaging. This article describes a range of novel techniques that are currently being used clinically or will be used in the future for clinical purposes as they gain popularity. These techniques include functional MR imaging, diffusion tensor imaging, cortical thickness assessment, arterial spin labeling perfusion, white matter hyperintensity lesion assessment, and advanced MR angiography.
