Comparison of susceptibility artifacts at the skull base for 1.5T and 3T at different TEs, keeping all other parameters equal (TR, 4500 ms; isotropic voxel size, 3.3 mm; 48 sections; bandwidth, 2170 Hz/pixel). Artifacts are larger at any TE for 3T and increase with rising TE for both field strengths. At low TE, however, skull base artifacts are tolerable at 3T.
