Contrast-enhanced MR imaging of the small bowel was
performed in 12 healthy volunteers at 1.5T and 7T.
Quality of MR images was directly compared between 1.5T
and 7T. Image impairment by artifacts was separately
investigated for 1.5T and 7T. MR images of the small
bowel at 7T can be generated with an image quality that
fulfills diagnostic requirements. Despite an increasing
number of artifacts at 7T, tissue contrast and image
quality were equivalent as compared with those achieved
with 1.5T.
