Development of transverse relaxation and susceptibility methods for high field MRI

磁共振成像(MRI)系统使用的非常强的磁场大于地球磁场的8万倍，正在变得越来越可用。这些磁共振成像系统比场强为3.0特斯拉或更低的标准临床磁共振成像系统要强大得多。然而，这些高场磁共振成像系统仍然缺乏足够的成像方法来进行人体成像。需要新的方法来克服高场磁共振成像的特殊挑战。我们将介绍用于人脑成像的新的MRI方法。我们的工作将提供对MRI技术的洞察，并发布新的方法来开发标准磁场和高磁场下固有的MRI对比度。

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems using very strong magnetic fields that are greater than eighty thousand times the Earth's field are becoming increasingly available. These MRI systems are much stronger than standard clinical MRI systems that are at a field strength of 3.0 Tesla or lower. However, these higher field MRI systems still lack an adequate array of imaging methods for human imaging. New methods are needed to overcome the specific challenges of high field MRI. We will introduce new MRI methods for human brain imaging. Our work will provide insight into technical MRI and release new means to exploit inherent MRI contrast at both standard and high magnetic fields.
