Philips is currently the only company to have a fully operational 7.0T MR whole body research system for clinical research in a corporate environment at its facility in Cleveland. It is also working in partnerships with some of the world's leading medical research centers on the development of the Philips 7.0T MR program including Ohio State University and Vanderbilt University in the USA, the University of Nottingham in the UK and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich). This program is focused on pushing the development of 7.0T innovations, in partnership with researchers and clinicians, and migrating these advances to routine clinical applications.
The commonly used field strength of clinical MR is 1.5T with higher-performance 3.0T systems becoming increasingly popular. Philips leadership in 3.0T high-field MR system is strengthened by developing fully operational 7.0T systems which will enhance MR knowledge and directly benefit and advance ultra high-field MR applications currently in clinical use.
