Abstract
High-field MRI is moving rapidly from the research realm to clinical use. This modality has intrinsic advantages in signal to noise ratio, which allows images that have im-proved resolution, are obtained faster, or have less noise. Perhaps most importantly these scanners will allow functional imaging to become a reality in the musculoskeletal system. Care must be used in protocols because of the energy deposition and worsened artifacts at higher fields.
