A vision of 14 T MR for fundamental and clinical science.

Objective: We outline our vision for a 14 Tesla MR system. This comprises a novel whole-body magnet design utilizing high temperature superconductor; a console and associated electronic equipment; an optimized radiofrequency coil setup for proton measurement in the brain, which also has a local shim capability; and a high-performance gradient set.

Research Fields: The 14 Tesla system can be considered a 'mesocope': a device capable of measuring on biologically relevant scales.
