This review summarizes current techniques and achievements in 7T spinal imaging and outlines associated technical barriers and future directions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A\u00a0scoping review in accordance with PRISMA extension for scoping reviews guidelines was performed utilizing PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science.

Current literature supports 7T\u2019s superior resolution and signal-to-noise ratio in comparison to 1.5T and 3T MRI. These studies reported improved lesion detection and staging in multiple sclerosis (MS), spinal cord injury (SCI), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS); however, the implications of results are limited by small sample sizes, technical heterogeneity, and inconsistent outcome measures. Additionally, the use of 7T spinal imaging remains limited by radiofrequency coil design, susceptibility artifacts, physiological noise, lack of FDA-clearance for spinal indications, and an absence of standardized imaging protocols. Future research aims to address these limitations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Spinal cord imaging at 7T is challenging due to technical constraints and higher susceptibility to artifacts as a\u00a0result of physiological noise (respiration, swallowing, and bulk movement). However, early studies\u2019 results using 7T imaging support improved ability, compared to 3T, to provide enhanced visualization of fine anatomical structures, such as nerve roots, and to improve spinal cord lesion detection.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00062-026-01669-x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,8]],"date-time":"2026-06-08T12:37:09Z","timestamp":1780922229000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Clinical Research for the Use of 7\u202fT Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Spinal Pathologies: a\u00a0Scoping Review"],"prefix":"10.1007","author":[{"given":"Nathan","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexa R.","family":"Lauinger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anant","family":"Naik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yagiz","family":"Yolcu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paul M.","family":"Arnold","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,8]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"1669_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"221","DOI":"10.1080\/14737175.2018.1433033","volume":"18","author":"M Inglese","year":"2018","unstructured":"Inglese M, Fleysher L, Oesingmann N, Petracca M.
