Abstract
This paper briefly summarizes the development of magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy in medicine. Aspects of magnetic resonancephysics and -technology relevant at ultra-high magnetic fields as well as current limitations are highlighted. Based on the first promising studies, potential clinical applications at 7 Tesla are suggested. Other aims are to stimulate awareness of the potential of ultra-high field magnetic resonance and to stimulate active participation in much needed basic or clinical research at 7 Tesla or higher.Keywords: Alzheimer’s disease; Brain tumors; Cartilage; Functional magnetic resonance imaging; Magnetic resonance; Magnetic resonance spectroscopy; Multiple sclerosis; Ultra-high field magnetic resonance methods
