Lightweight, compact, and high‐performance 3<scp>T MR</scp> system for imaging the brain and extremities

Abstract

The compact 3T MRI system has been in continuous operation at the Mayo Clinic since March 2016. To date, over 200 patient studies have been completed, including 96 comparison studies with a clinical 3T whole-body MRI. The increased gradient performance has reliably resulted in consistently improved image quality.
