Description
Summary:Medical technologies are continually changing and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is no exception, where increasing the magnet strength has produced more sophisticated device capabilities. A systematic review of the evidence comparing the clinical applications of 1.5 Tesla (T) MRI with those of 3.0 T MRI aims to provide health care decision makers such as government purchasers, health care planners, and clinicians with information about the clinical effectiveness and institutional efficiency of the 1.5 T MRI and 3.0 T MRI.
