It is not just the strength of the machine that is important. The software can be even more important. So when you ask the magnetic strength be sure to ask about the software package and whether it is the most recent release by the manufacturer.
A new 1.5 tesla unit with current software can provide better results than a 3 tesla unit with 10 or even 5 year old software.
And then, let's not forget the radiologist who reads your scan. Is he or she a specialist in MRI imaging, did they take a specialty fellowship in the field, or are they a generalist radiologist?
Lot's more to research than Tesla strength.
