Ultra-High Field Neuro MRI gives a comprehensive reference and educational resource on the current state of neuroimaging at ultra-high field (UHF), with an emphasis on 7T. Sections cover the MR physics aspects of UHF, including the technical challenges, as well as technical and practical solutions that have led to the rapidly growing interest in 7T MRI. Individual chapters are dedicated to the different techniques that most strongly benefit from UHF, as well as chapters with a focus on different application areas in anatomical imaging, functional imaging, diffusion imaging and metabolic imaging. Finally, given the expected rapid growth in clinical use as sales of now FDA approved 7T are skyrocketing, several chapters highlight the clinical neuro applications for which 7T has proven superior. The book's primary audience includes MR scientists who develop MR technologies and/or support clinical and neuroscience research, as well as users who want to utilize UHF neuro MR techniques in their research, including clinicians and neuroscientists. Presents the opportunities and technical challenges presented by MRI at high field Describes advanced ultra-high field neuro MR techniques for clinical and neuroscience applications Gives detailed knowledge of emerging neuro MR techniques and their specific clinical applications to enable the reader to critically assess specific advantages and pros and cons Provides the best available data acquisition, processing, reconstruction and analysis strategies and methods to utilize in clinical and neuroscience research INDICE: Part 1: Benefits of Ultra-High Field 1.
