Recently, our 10.5T whole-body MRI magnet achieved field
strength and its installation was completed.
While waiting for IRB and IDE approval, a human-sized porcine model
serves as a surrogate for later human studies, thus allowing development of techniques
in vivo. Using an 8-channel head coil on
a porcine head, the first in vivo images from the 10.5T whole-body MRI were
acquired.
