7 Tesla MRI Evaluation of the Spine


Sponsor

Reto Sutter, MD

Enrollment

600 participants

Start Date

Mar 4, 2020

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

High-resolution MRI (7 Tesla) of the spine is capable to differentiate osseous spurs from discus-material and better depict the compressed nerve in the neuroforamen compared to 3T MRI. Provide the surgeon with a detailed high-resolution anatomical image before surgery and potential no need for CT (if the bony anatomy is of crucial importance).


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Inclusion Criteria3

  • Informed consent as documented by signature (Appendix Informed Consent Form)
  • >18 years old
  • Patients presenting chronic back pain (> 2 months) without recent trauma, previous MRI (1,5 or 3T) for clinicals indications or asymptomatic individuals (for depicting normal microanatomy)

  • previous surgery
  • tumor patients
  • pregnancy or breast feeding
  • any MRI contra-indications
