Abstract

Purpose: With clearance for clinical use recently, 7T systems are already used clinically and will potentially become more widely available. MRI has made an important clinical impact in the assessment of inflammatory arthritis and osteoarthritis in the last decade. However, to date no clinical studies are available that have assessed the feasibility of 7T MRI for evaluation of inflammatory structural features of arthritis. Recommended imaging protocols on standard 1.5T and 3T systems include T1- and T2-weighted fat suppressed spin echo sequences and the use of contrast-enhanced (CE) MRI for the evaluation of synovitis.
