Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

experimental: 0.7 T MRI

Interventions

0.7 T MRI

Our scanner is based on a unique high-temperature superconducting magnet that is highly compact, weighs only 400 kg, and requires no cryogens. Its innovative design allows the subject to sit normally with sightlines to the room and produces low acoustic noise during scanning.

Primary outcome measure

  • Image Quality [ Time Frame: Day 1 ]
