3T 7T SNR Lower (–) Higher (+) Spatial resolution Lower (–) Higher (+) Resolution of overlapping resonances (ie, PC vs GPC, Lac vs lipids, 2HG vs Glu, Gln, GABA, possibly Glu vs Gln) Poorer (–) Better (+) Range of metabolites Narrower (–) Wider (+) Uncertainty values of metabolite concentrations Greater (–) Smaller (+) Differentiation of IDH1/IDH2 gliomas vs wild-type gliomas Less specific (–) More specific (+) B0 inhomogeneity Lower (+) Higher (–) B1 inhomogeneity Lower (+) Higher (–) RF power deposition (SAR) Lower (+) Higher (–) CSL errors Less frequent (+) More frequent (–) Susceptibility artifacts Less frequent (+) More frequent (–) T1 relaxation time Shorter (+) Longer (–) T2 relaxation time Longer (+) Shorter (–) RF transmit body coils More accessible (+) Inaccessible (–) Metal hardware (ie, titanium plates placed during craniotomies) Safe (+) Contraindicated (–)
Note:—CSL indicates chemical shift localization errors; (+), positive features; (–), negative features.
