      abstract     = {To compare image quality and diagnostic performance of 3T
                      and 7T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for direct depiction
                      of finger flexor pulleys A2, A3 and A4 before and after
                      artificial pulley rupture in an ex-vivo model using anatomic
                      preparation as reference.30 fingers from 10 human cadavers
                      were examined at 3T and 7T before and after being subjected
                      to iatrogenic pulley rupture. MRI protocols were comparable
                      in duration, both lasting less than 22 min. Two experienced
                      radiologists evaluated the MRIs. Image quality was graded
                      according to a 4-point Likert scale. Anatomic preparation
                      was used as gold standard.In comparison, 7T versus 3T had a
                      sensitivity and specificity for the detection of A2, A3 and
                      A4 pulley lesions with $100\%$ vs. $95\%,$ respectively
                      $98\%$ vs. $100\%.$ In the assessment of A3 pulley lesions
                      sensitivity of 7T was superior to 3T MRI $(100\%$ vs.
                      $83\%),$ whereas specificity was lower $(95\%$ vs. $100\%).$
                      Image quality assessed before and after iatrogenic rupture
                      was comparable with 2.74 for 7T and 2.61 for 3T.
                      Visualization of the A3 finger flexor pulley before rupture
                      creation was significantly better for 7 T (p < 0.001).
                      Interobserver variability showed substantial agreement at 3T
                      (κ = 0.80) and almost perfect agreement at 7T (κ =
                      0.90).MRI at 3T allows a comparable diagnostic performance
                      to 7T for direct visualization and characterization of
                      finger flexor pulleys before and after rupture, with
                      superiority of 7T MRI in the visualization of the normal A3
                      pulley.},
