Consensus Statement #3
Statement Additional technical work is necessary to assess safety, minimize technical challenges and facilitate clinical translation of 7T MRI for MS.
Recommendation Industry and academia should collaborate on hardware and software modifications including:
  • Hardware adapted to patient disability

  • Motion-correction techniques

  • Acceleration/denoising techniques

  • Image artefact (B1/B0-related) mitigation techniques

  • Standardized methods for use of dielectric padding, shimming techniques, multi-channel/parallel transmit coils, direct signal control

  • Automated quantification techniques (brain and lesion segmentation, inline MP2RAGE and T2*/QSM reconstruction)

  • Hardware, sequences and coils development for 7T SC imaging

  • Streamlined post-processing in real time
