Whole-body MRI systems for research applications operate in e.g. 9.4T, [8] [9] 10.5T, [10] 11.7T. [11] Even higher field whole-body MRI systems e.g. 14 T and beyond are in conceptual proposal [12] or in engineering design. [13] Most clinical magnets are superconducting magnets, which require liquid helium to keep them at low temperatures.
