In 2013, these sites formed a network to facilitate and harmonize the research being conducted at the different sites and make this technology available to a larger community of researchers and clinicians not only within Germany, but also worldwide. The German Ultrahigh Field Imaging (GUFI) network has defined a strategic goal to establish a 14 Tesla whole-body human MRI system as a national research resource in Germany as the next progression in magnetic field strength. This paper summarizes the history of this initiative, the current status, the motivation for pursuing MR imaging and spectroscopy at such a high magnetic field strength, and the technical and funding challenges involved. It focuses on the scientific and science policy process from the perspective in Germany, and is not intended to be a comprehensive systematic review of the benefits and technical challenges of higher field strengths.}, subtyp = {Review Article}, keywords = {Humans / Magnetic Resonance Imaging: methods / Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy / Whole Body Imaging: methods / Germany / Magnetic Fields / 14T (Other) / Extremely high field (Other) / GUFI (Other) / MRI (Other) / Ultrahigh field (Other)}, cin = {AG Speck / AG Remy / AG Stöcker}, ddc = {530}, cid = {I:(DE-2719)1340009 / I:(DE-2719)1013006 / I:(DE-2719)1013026}, pnm = {353 - Clinical and Health Care Research (POF4-353) / 351 - Brain Function (POF4-351) / 354 - Disease Prevention and Healthy Aging (POF4-354)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF4-353 / G:(DE-HGF)POF4-351 / G:(DE-HGF)POF4-354}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, pmc = {pmc:PMC10140098}, pubmed = {pmid:37029886}, doi = {10.1007/s10334-023-01085-z}, url = {https://pub.dzne.de/record/257591}, }
