title: Comparison of the signal-to-noise ratio at 1.5 and 2.0 T using a whole-body system.
abstract: Signal-to-noise ratios for 1H, 31P, and 13C signals at 1.5 and 2.0 T were compared using a whole-body system with a fast rampable magnet. Results indicate that SNR lies within the predicted values of linear and 7/4th power dependency with the applied magnetic field, for lossy and lossless samples, respectively.
