This is about the possibility of getting 1.5T versus 3T MRI image quality. MRI image quality makes or breaks a radiology business. We have seen this time and time again. Some centers try to use new equipment or higher field strength as a differentiator, but ultimately, it is the value quality of the images that make the diagnosis easier or harder for the reading radiologist. 3T images are not always better than 1.5T MRI system images. MRI image quality is created using around sixty to eighty different physics settings, depending upon the...
read moreThis example shows where an MRI Cervical optimized, can you tell which one is from the 3T? When done by MRI Optimize Consultants, the MRI Cervical optimized on a 1.5T field strength mri system can look as good as if not better than images from a 3T MRI system. While the 3T system has twice the signal to noise, the 3T scanner requires four times more SAR (specific absorption rate) to acquire those images, which means the patient heats up faster with the RF energy that is used to create the images from spinning the hydrogen...

Some centers try to use new equipment or higher field strength as a differentiator, but ultimately, it is the value quality of the images that make the diagnosis easier or harder for the reading radiologist. MRI image quality is created using around sixty to eighty different physics settings, depending upon the particular sequence used. MRI Optimize Consultants uses their expertise with those factors to create the best image quality from your...
