Abstract
Ultra-high field MRI is an emerging technique promising high-resolution images for radiotherapy planning. We compared a 7 Tesla FLAIR sequence with clinical FLAIR imaging at 3 Tesla in glioblastoma patients before radiotherapy. High-resolution 7 Tesla FLAIR imaging may enhance the depiction of organs at risk and possibly modify target volumes.
