A compact, low-cryogen 3T MRI scanner has been developed employing high-performance gradients capable of simultaneously achieving 80 mT/m and 700 T/m/s. A comparison study of T2-weighted 3D FLAIR in 16 clinical patients graded by two neuroradiologists has been performed. The compact 3T system performed equally well to a standard whole-body system in terms of motion artifacts and cerebellar folia conspicuity, and performed better in terms of signal-to-noise ratio, lesion conspicuity, gray/white contrast, and overall exam quality.
