A comparison of MR imaging of a mouse model of glioma at 0.2Â T and 9.4Â T

► MR images of a mouse model of glioma were collected at 9.4 T and 0.2 T. ► Both SNR and CNR were higher at 9.4 T. ► 0.2 T MRI enables detection of glioma however optimized RF coil and pulse sequence as well as long acquisition time must be used to provide sufficient SNR. ► It is possible to image millimetre size gliomas using 0.2 T MRI.
