Synopsis
This work showcases the first ever use of ultra-strong gradient in ’below the neck’ human MRI. It assesses the benefits, compared to more commonly-available gradient strengths, of 300mT/m gradients for comprehensive characterization of the prostate gland. Leveraging such gradient amplitudes enables unique tissue contrasts, with a potential to improve specificity and/or sensitivity of current MRI methods for prostate cancer characterisation and detection.
