Advanced 7 Tesla imaging of the knee for root cause of Osteoarthritis
ABSTRACT: The recent FDA approval of 7T for clinical imaging of the knee, opens the possibility that this ultrahigh field MRI platform will become a more prominent tool in biomedical research and patient management. Musculoskeletal (MSK) research and diagnostic imaging have been traditionally performed at magnetic fields of 1.5 and 3T. While there is increasing availability of ultrahigh field (UHF) 7T instruments and FDA approval of 7T clinical use in the head and knee, only a fraction of the system’s true capability is being exploited. First, approval has only been given for operation in a single transmit mode configuration. As such, clinicians cannot take advantage of the available…
