Pushing the limits: Ultrafast 2D accelerated High Resolution Whole-Head Volumetric Functional Imaging at 7 Tesla

چکیده
reconstructed 16fold (4x4) accelerated wholehead coverage 3DEPI volume scan acquired with isotropic 1 mm nominal spatial resolution in 3.6 s/vol. Shown are samples of axial, coronal, and sagittal slices from a single volume (no averaging), demonstrating the data quality and spatial coverage. Fig. 2: (Top) Sliceaveraged normalized standard deviation of temporal signal fluctuations (NSD) was higher for 3D4x4 in the 4 subjects with general reduced ROI max t-score, but results yielded high quality activation maps (bottom row).

Three dimensional echo-planar imaging at 7 Tesla
Functional MRI (fMRI) most commonly employs 2D echo-planar imaging (EPI). The advantages for fMRI brought about by the increasingly popular ultra-high field strengths are best exploited in high-resolution acquisitions, but here 2D EPI becomes impractical for several reasons, including the very long volume acquisitions times. In this study at 7 T, a 3D EPI sequence with full parallel and partial...

متن کاملHigh Temporal Resolution Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging at 7 Tesla
Speed has always been a critical consideration in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), promising dramatic gains in imaging speed, a reduction in motion and susceptibility artifacts, and ultimately increased throughput for clinical studies. In the context of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), MRI pulse sequences designed to increase the speed and spatial resolution have always been a top...
متن کاملThree-dimensional echo planar imaging with controlled aliasing: A sequence for high temporal resolution functional MRI.
PURPOSE In this work, we combine three-dimensional echo planar imaging (3D-EPI) with controlled aliasing to substantially increase temporal resolution in whole-brain functional MRI (fMRI) while minimizing geometry-factor (g-factor) losses. THEORY AND METHODS The study was performed on a 7 Tesla scanner equipped with a 32-channel receive coil. The proposed 3D-EPI-CAIPI sequence was evaluated f...
