We use a high temperature superconducing surface coil with a diameter of 12 mm to depict the human skin's pertinent structures in vivo at 1.5 T at an isotropic spatial resolution of (80 m) corresponding to a voxel volume of 0.51 nl. Different anatomical structures of the skin can be identified with sufficient SNR at scan times of ~10 min.
