The goal of the current project is to explore and develop the technical feasibility of non-invasive imaging of the human musculoskeletal system and head with the first 7T MR scanner with a CE mark to identify areas where the higher field promises significant benefits in qualitative image quality. For a subset of the planned exams, state-of-the art 7T or 3T images will be used as standard of reference to comparatively gauge the qualitative image quality of the investigational 7T images.

| 7 T MRI vs 3 T MRI | Other | Adult healthy and patient volunteers will undergo a ca. 1 hour examination of non-invasive magnetic-resonance imaging at 7T, and, if appropriate, a closely matching examination at 3T as a standard of reference. |

| Qualitative image quality of 7 T MRI | Current-day feasibility of various types of MR examinations of the human musculoskeletal system. The primary outcomes of small consistent series of the study are visual gradings and qualitative measures of image quality. Image quality is rated by independent readers using Likert scales. | through study completion, an average of 1 year |
