T1 contrast in the human brain at 7 Tesla
Introduction: MRI in humans at ultra-high field offers not only high baseline sensitivity but also interesting contrast behavior. Compared to lower field strength T1 relaxation times generally increase but seem to remain highly diverse, promising strong T1 contrast especially in brain imaging. Exploring this potential is mainly hampered by the non-uniformity of the transmit RF fields generate b...
متن کاملAdiabatic Magnetization Preparation Pulse for T2-contrast at 7 Tesla
Introduction: High-resolution MRI at 7T has the potential to provide tremendous improvement in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of neurological diseases. High-resolution T2-weighted sequences are sensitive for assessing subtle structural abnormalities associated with many of these diseases [1]. Unfortunately, conventional T2-weighted sequences, such as Fast Spin Echo (FSE), utilize a...
متن کاملAcquisition Methods for fMRI at 7 Tesla
FMRI and high field, which application? For most imaging applications the benefit of 7+ Tesla scanners is quite obvious: there is more signal which can be used to improve SNR-starved images or, in case of an SNR surplus, it can be invested in shorter acquisitions without compromised image quality. In the typical BOLD fMRI experiment (2-3 mm isotropic spatial resolution, volume TR of 2-3 seconds...
متن کاملHole-Slotted Phased Array at 7 Tesla
Introduction The development of RF coils is always focused towards increasing SNR and optimizing the RF penetration into the sample. Multi channel receiver arrays have been shown to increase the SNR and/or the speed (if combined with parallel imaging) in clinical and animal MRI studies [1]. Array coils for high fields are usually based on simple loops and are mostly used in rat imaging studies ...
متن کاملDynamic Bo Shimming at 7 Tesla
Introduction Dynamic Shimming is a technique for obtaining optimal Bo field homogeneity over a volume by updating the shim coil and gradient currents for every slice in a multislice acquisition in real time [1, 2]. Dynamic shimming can produce better field homogeneity within each slice than global volume shimming methods. It can therefore reduce signal losses and geometric distortions and can b...
