T2*-weighted 2D gradient-echo sequences performed on two MS patients at 7 T using an in-plane resolution of 250 μm × 250 μm, a slice thickness of 1 mm, and 25 contiguous slices. Image on left (first MS patient) was acquired in an axial orientation and shows multiple white matter MS lesions with a central vein (arrows). Images on the right (second MS patient) were acquired in a coronal orientation, and minimum intensity projection was performed for the image on top. The ‘fan-shaped’ distribution of the deep medullary veins (top image, dashed boxes) and the oblique course of a vein running centrally through a MS lesion (bottom image, yellow arrow) are illustrated. Main sequence parameters were: FA = 50 degrees, TE = 20 ms, TR = 1300 ms, R = 2 (GRAPPA), scan time = 8 min 40 sec.
