3T MRI scans are scans done using twice the magnetic field strength. This is a physical difference. The stronger magnet allows us to see more information in the same time. So a 3T scan is simply twice as good, at least 4 times as fast and also delivers more radiofrequency RF energy during the scan. This means it sometimes feels warm inside the scanner. But to most patients this is a unimportant difference.
The true difference is the increased diagnostic capability of 3T MRI. For instance breast lesions are seen 100% at 3T but only 90% at 1.5T. In the case of MS we usually see 37% more lesions in the same patient with the same scans. However - we can sometimes see up to 300% more lesions. In my experience 3T MRI is superior to 1.5T MRI in most cases. We us 1.5T OPEN BORE MRI for our larger patients and claustrophobic patients but in most patients we find that 3T is superior to 1.5T.
We offer both to our patients and are one of the few facilities in the world that allows the patient to choose.
