What are the benefits of 3T MRI?
A 3T MRI has double the magnetic strength of a 1.5T MRI machine. Some of the benefits of 3T can include:
-
The 3T MRI can image large organs faster, which could be beneficial for people who might experience anxiety or claustrophobia during MRIs. Faster scans can also allow for quicker tests for children who don't like to lay still for too long, which is required to obtain clear MRI results.
-
Neurological issues can be more easily identified, where high-quality, detailed images of the brain could be vital in diagnosis and treatment monitoring.
-
Orthopedic scans of smaller body parts, such as small joints, bones, or tissue, that are difficult to see on a 1.5T MRI show up better on the 3T MRI.
-
3T MRIs are much quieter, which makes for a more comfortable test environment. They also have a wider opening, which helps make the test less stressful.
-
3 Tesla MRI reduces scan times in some cases half the normal time of a 1.5 Tesla MRI.
