Purpose: Translation to high field magnetic resonance (MR) systems (7 Tesla) for human imaging requires the adaptation of clinical sequences from 1.5 or 3 Tesla. Purpose of this study was to find imaging parameters for the hippocampal area depicting its structure with a cutting-edge resolution. Materials and Methods: Sixteen volunteers were examined with a whole-body 7 Tesla scanner (Magnetom 7T, Siemens, Germany). A CP head coil (Invivo, USA), an 8-channel head coil (Rapid, Germany), or a 24-channel head coil (Nova, USA) were used to optimize coronal PD-, T2-, T2*-, FLAIR-, and T1–3D-MPRAGE sequences regarding…
