In this work, we present the first human magnetic resonance image (MRI) obtained at ultrahigh field strengths (8 T). We demonstrate that clinical imaging will be possible at 8 T and that reasonable quality head images can be obtained at this field strength. Most importantly, we emphasize that the po

✦ Synopsis
1 on human magnetic resonance imaging at 8 T. The authors present a transaxial image of the human head acquired at 8 T in a plane above the ventricles, from which they 'demonstrate that clinical imaging will be possible at 8 T and that reasonable quality head images can be obtained'. In my opinion this statement, based on a limited number of experiments, is premature; more experimental evidence is needed to support such a statement. The enhanced signal intensity at the central

Lung ventilation imaging using inhaled oxygen as a contrast medium was performed using both a 0.2 and a 1.5 T clinical magnetic resonance (MR) scanner in eight volunteers.

A new theoretical method is presented for designing frequency responses of double-tuned, low-pass birdcage coils. This method is based on Kirchhoff's equations through a nonsymmetric matrix algorithm and extended through a modification of the corresponding eigenvalue system from a single-tuned mode.
