Abstract
Clinical magnetic resonance imaging systems are available with magnetic field strengths up to 3 Tesla. Research systems for human imaging are now available at 7 Tesla. This presentation will highlight some of the technical challenges to imaging in the thorax, abdomen, and pelvis at this field strength. One of the most promising technological developments is the use of multiple, independent channels for performing the radiofrequency excitation of the tissue.
