Visualization of wrist anatomy-a comparison between 7T and 3T MRI.

• MRI of the wrist at 7T with a commercially available wrist coil is feasible at similar acquisition times as for 3T MRI. • The current study showed 7T to be superior to 3T in the visualization of anatomical structures of the wrist, including ligaments, tendons, nerves, and trabecular bone. • Image quality was significantly superior at 7T, except for artefacts, where no significant differences were found.
