Abstract

The long-standing relationship between ultra-high-field (7 T) MRI and multiple sclerosis (MS) has brought new insights to our understanding of lesion evolution and its associated pathology. With the recent FDA approval of a commercially available scanner, 7 T MRI is finally entering the clinic with great expectations about its potential added value. By looking through the prism of MS diagnosis, this perspective article discusses current limitations and prospects of 7 T MRI techniques relevant to helping clinicians diagnose patients encountered in daily practice.
