The demand for the application of Ultra-High Field (B0≥7T) MR-scanners in cardiovascular MRI grows permanently despite of technical challenges increasing significantly with the static magnetic field strength. We report initial experience with the new 7T system Siemens Magnetom™ Terra for acquiring MR-images of the human heart. A standard workflow for cardiac assessment has been developed and tested in N=18 healthy volunteers in single transmit mode. Currently CINE scans with 14-17 slices covering up to 35 heart phases are well suited for clinical volumetric heart function characterization. Diagnostic image quality can be provided for subsequent volunteers.
