The main risks associated with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have been extensively
reported and studied; for example, everyday objects may turn into projectiles, energy …

The development of MRI systems operating at or above 7 T has provided researchers with a
new window into the human body, yielding improved imaging speed, resolution and signal …

At ultra-high fields, the assessment of radiofrequency (RF) safety presents several new
challenges compared to low-field systems. Multi-channel RF transmit coils in combination …

Purpose To investigate the clinical feasibility of a quantitative sodium 23 (23Na) magnetic
