What's the bore diameter for a 7T or a 10T magnet? All of the ones I've seen wouldn't be wide enough for an adult human.

They are human size research (and now clinical, albeit limited so far) magnets, so big enough, think about 60cm. It's an elbow rubbing environment, but sufficient for even somewhat large adults. The animals magnets are super tiny, of course.
I see a 7T model from Siemens with a standard 60cm bore. Interesting!
