Synopsis

Contrast in MRI is obtained by leveraging the relaxation times of the different tissue species and can vary not only with the pathology/condition, but also with the static magnetic field strength (B0) of the MRI scanner. More specifically, it is known that T1 dispersion increases with decreasing B0. This point was overlooked for many decades but is now revived with the (re)growing interest of low-field MRI in the community. The potential added value of low-field MRI will be discussed and illustrated with various examples showcasing how low-field could complement the current MSK + Body imaging landscape.
