This study presents the first investigations with algorithmic spinal cord-segmentation, as well as gray matter/white matter-segmentation within the spinal cord, at the ultrahigh field strength of 9.4T. On multi-echo gradient-echo acquisitions from three subjects, the tested algorithms perform the segmentations correctly. Based on these multi-echo data, pixel-wise T2*-relaxation time maps were calculated. By means of the segmentations, averaged T2*-times of 24.88ms +- 6.68ms for gray matter and 19.37ms +- 8.66ms for white matter, were calculated.
