Development of transverse relaxation and susceptibility methods for high field MRI

使用比地球磁场大八万倍的非常强的磁场的磁共振成像（MRI）系统正变得越来越可用。 这些MRI系统比场强为3.0特斯拉或更低的标准临床MRI系统强得多。 然而，这些高场MRI系统仍然缺乏用于人体成像的成像方法的适当阵列。 需要新的方法来克服高场MRI的特定挑战。 我们将介绍用于人脑成像的新MRI方法。 我们的工作将提供深入了解技术MRI和释放新的手段，利用固有的MRI对比度在标准和高磁场。

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.
