Body MR imaging at 3T: basic considerations about artifacts and safety

TL;DRAbstract

Three Tesla magnetic resonance (MR) imaging scanners have been seeing steadily increasing use recently as hardware has matured and pulse sequences have become more optimized for a higher field strength. This increase in popularity has been more pronounced for neurologic and musculoskeletal imaging than for body imaging, however, due to the fact that 3T imaging with the larger field of view required for the torso tends to be more susceptible to artifacts and energy absorption limits than the imaging of smaller body parts.
