T2*-weighted Gradient Echo (T2*FFE) were collected at 7-Tesla in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS) and healthy controls for a more detailed image of the spinal cord, specifically the vasculature of the spinal cord. Analyzing the anterior vein may provide insight into the connection between the vasculature and lesion presence in the spinal cord of MS patients. Our results demonstrate significantly enlarged anterior veins in MS patients compared to healthy controls. The anterior vein in the spinal cord has not been studied in great detail prior to this study.
