A Comparative Evaluation of Technical, Financial, and Imaging Performance Between 1.5 Tesla and 3 Tesla MRI Systems for Clinical Applications
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This paper presents a structured comparative assessment between 1.5 T and 3 T Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems, focusing on technical specifications, economic impact, and diagnostic image quality. Data compiled from manufacturer documentation and clinical usage evaluations reveal that 3 T systems provide higher spatial resolution, improved signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), shorter image acquisition times, and reduced artefact levels. However, these advantages come with substantially increased acquisition and operational costs. The study concludes with recommendations tailored to clinical needs, highlighting that 3 T systems are suited for advanced imaging applications, while 1.5 T platforms remain economically viable for standard diagnostic procedures.
