exceeding slew rates
Can someone please let me know what happens to the MRI signal intensity if any of the gradient's slew rate was exceeded?

Slew Rate
Whats meaning of slew rate?
And whats its effect on human body if it raised or not?

6-1.5T MAGNETS, DIFFERING GRADIENTS
Thanks so much for the input. NOBODY in my group seems to have a handle on why images vary in quality from 8 different magnets. I'm being pressed to take position of imaging specialist and thru my own research we have gradient strengths from 50 slew rate up to 120. Radiologists complain neuro stinks on the 50 slew rate 1.5T magnet and it is the most pounded on magnet in our group doing hospital inpatients. So many variables including tech expertise.

Slew rate, rise time and/or duty cycle are specific parameters to describe the performance of the gradient amplifier. Amplifiers with higher performance allow a faster slew rate (shorter rise time). Stronger gradients allow to reduce echo time, increase the bandwidth and/or use a smaller FOV by influencing the SNR. To use same parameters on magnets with different gradient performance may not be recommended, or you have to adjust all parameters to the level of your magnet with the poorest performance.

Thank you for your response. Our group is strict about FOV, thickness/gap parameters being the same across all magnets. One magnet has slew rate of 77, FRFSE T2, TE 85,TR 3500 Classic Fat supressed images which are pristine, vs magnets of 120 slew rate same parameters look signal starved. So gradient strength makes a speed difference, not an image quality difference?
