Wikipedia says the previous world record[1] for an MRI magnet was 11.75 Teslas. This article says this one uses 11.7 Teslas. Anyone more knowledgeable care to comment on the difference? They say a record for this volume (large enough to pass a human) but surely the other one would be that large as well?

- robbiep 5y agoit says in both the article you link and the actual article that it's the first one for clinical, rather than research use
- azalemeth 5y agoCEA is definitely not (yet) for clinical use, i.e. treating sick people routinely. It's for clinical research, i.e. scanning sick or healthy people, potentially (if and only if in the context of a registered clinical trial) changing their treatment as a corollary.
- jcims 5y agoThere’s also a bullet at the bottom of the article that says that the world record is for the volume at that field strength.
- kergonath 5y agoIt’s very simple: it’s because the story and your link talk about the same magnet. Yours was (initially) written when it was in the design phase, and it has now produced its first images.
- samplatt 5y agoThat's what I get for not properly investigating the sources. Thanks!
