Seven ‐Tesla Magnetization Transfer Imaging to Detect Multiple Sclerosis White Matter Lesions

CONCLUSIONSeven‐Tesla MTw sequences detected most of the white matter lesions identified by FLAIR at 3T. This suggests that 7T‐MTw imaging is a robust alternative for detecting demyelinating lesions in addition to 3T‐FLAIR. Future studies need to compare the roles of optimized 7T‐FLAIR and of 7T‐MTw imaging.
