Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

High-resolution MRI (7 Tesla) of the cervical spine is capable to differentiate osseous spurs from discus-material and better depict the compressed nerve in the neuroforamen compared to 3T MRI.

Provide the surgeon with a detailed high-resolution anatomical image before surgery and potential no need for CT (if the bony anatomy is of crucial importance).
