Feasibility Testing of 7-Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Sponsor: Reto Sutter, MD
Summary
The goal of the current project is to explore and develop the technical feasibility of non-invasive imaging of the human musculoskeletal system and head with the first 7T MR scanner with a CE mark to identify areas where the higher field promises significant benefits in qualitative image quality. For a subset of the planned exams, state-of-the art 7T or 3T images will be used as standard of reference to comparatively gauge the qualitative image quality of the investigational 7T images.

7 T MRI vs 3 T MRI
Adult healthy and patient volunteers will undergo a ca. 1 hour examination of non-invasive magnetic-resonance imaging at 7T, and, if appropriate, a closely matching examination at 3T as a standard of reference.
