Evaluation of Hardware-related Geometrical Distortion in Structural MRI at 7 Tesla for Image-guided Applications in Neurosurgery

Hardware-related geometrical distortions at 7 T MRI are relatively small, which may be acceptable for image coregistration or for direct tissue-targeting procedures. Using a subject-specific correction of object-related distortions, an integration of 7 T MRI data into image-guided applications may be feasible.
