Abstract

Ultrahigh-field (7T) MRI provides improved contrast and a signal-to-noise gain compared with lower magnetic field strengths. Here, we demonstrate feasibility and optimization of anatomic imaging of the eye and orbit using a dedicated commercial multichannel transmit and receive eye coil. Optimization of participant setup techniques and MRI sequence parameters allowed for improvements in the image resolution and contrast, and the eye and orbit coverage with minimal susceptibility and motion artifacts in a clinically feasible protocol.
