IDEAL at 7T in Mice Using Asymmetric Spin Echo and Gradient Echo Acquisitions
An asymmetric spin echo (aSE) technique was developed to produce uniform, robust fat-water separation in mice at 7T using Iterative Decomposition of Water and Fat with Echo Asymmetry and Least-squares estimation method (IDEAL). The aSE technique had superior image quality as compared to gradient echo IDEAL estimation. Both the spin echo and gradient echo IDEAL techniques resulted in more accura...

متن کاملWhite matter fMRI: Exploring functional differentiation in the corpus callosum
Introduction White matter fMRI is a controversial idea. To date, the majority of fMRI studies have focused on gray matter, largely for two reasons: 1) cerebral blood flow/volume is reduced in white matter relative to gray matter (e.g., [1, 2]); and 2) post-synaptic potentials are thought to be the primary source of the signal measured in fMRI (e.g., [3]). Despite this, a growing number of studi...
متن کاملFunctional Magnetic Resonance Imaging using Super-Resolved Spatially-Encoded MRI
Introduction The robustness of detecting activation in fMRI data is affected by the type of imaging sequence and reconstruction algorithm used. This facet of functional MRI experiments, is expressed for example in the different sensitivity and specificity of Spin-Echo (SE) EPI and Gradient-Echo (GE) EPI sequences. Recent development of a new single-scan imaging scheme provides an alternative to...
متن کاملCombined gradient- and spin-echo EPI acquisition technique for high-resolution fMRI
INTRODUCTION – Gradient-echo (GRE) based fMRI pulse sequences are most sensitive to larger vessels, including veins. The regions-of-interest for neuronal activity, however, are mainly within capillaries. Effective localization of brain activity would require that the BOLD signal is confined to the microvasculature. However, in GRE-based sequences BOLD signal changes tend to be located distant t...
