Abstract

This article reviews and discusses recent findings in functional MRI at 1.5 and 3.0 T magnetic field strengths, in research and clinical applications. Particular attention is paid to comparative studies and to an explanation of the physical and biological dependencies leading to potential gains and tradeoffs of functional scanning at magnets with a high field strength.
