Synopsis

Keywords: Data Acquisition, Neurofluids

In this proof-of-principle study the currently untapped potential of UHF MRI is shown. Two young, healthy volunteers were scanned at 7T with 2D 0.25x0.25x1.0mm T2w TSE depicting a substantial number of PVS. At this high resolution, vessel segments inside the PVS could be studied and quantified. Further, hyperintense structures around and inside the dura and sinuses were depicted clearly.
