High-resolution high-field images have excellent visualisation of the sural nerve and would give surgeons prior knowledge of the position before surgery. Basic imaging characteristics of the sural nerve can be acquired, but more detailed imaging characteristics are not easily evaluable in the very small sural and further developments and specific studies are required for any diagnostic utility at 7T.
