Abstract

Abstract

The main objective of this course is to familiarize MS clinicians with the technical basics of 7T MRI. I will first present the benefits of imaging the central nervous system at 7T and introduce some safety considerations for scanning a clinical population at this ultra-high field strength. I will then review examples of 7T brain images acquired on MS patients using state-of-the-art sequences and discuss some of the current technical limitations. Finally, I will mention promising technical developments aimed at overcoming these issues and facilitating the integration of 7T imaging in the clinical workflow.
