[3 Tesla magnetic resonance tomography--clinical applications].
With high-field magnetic resonance a better signal-to-noise ratio can be gained with the possibility of higher spatial resolution or shorter scan times. Clinical applications are especially in the field of spectroscopy of the brain, the liver, and the muscles as well as in with functional imaging of the brain. It can be expected that cerebral diffusion and perfusion studies will be significantly improved. Other applications include cardiac, abdominal, and musculo-skeletal diseases with the early diagnosis of cartilage diseases being of high interest.
