OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
High-resolution MRI (7 Tesla) of the cervical 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).

- Patients with cervical back pain (radiculopathy) and scheduled surgery for foraminal stenosis or central stenosis or cervical periradicular injection therapy (PRT)
Exclusion Criteria4
- previous surgery
- tumor patients
