MR technology was looked upon as an imaging advancement that provided high-resolution images without exposing patients to radiation in its early days. Now a new set of improvements is impacting not only image quality but also the patient comfort and work efficiency. One of the biggest change is the migration from the 1.5T machine to the 3T ones. The combination of MRI systems with larger gradients, improved surface coils, and parallel imaging techniques have produced substantial improvements in MRI quality and speed of image acquisition.
