Evaluation of atherosclerosis in smaller arteries in the hand may be clinically useful in certain disease conditions such as Diabetes. We sought to demonstrate feasibility of vessel wall imaging of the superficial palmar arch using 7T and 3T MRI in comparison with very high frequency micro ultrasound. Results indicated that 7T imaging of the palmar arch was feasible and subjective image quality analysis was better than 3T and ultrasound.
