Area of Science:

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
  • Biophysics
  • Microscopy

Background:

  • High static magnetic field strengths offer potential for enhanced MRI sensitivity and resolution.
  • Conventional gradient echo and spin echo sequences may face limitations at ultra-high fields.
  • Microscopic imaging requires high spatial resolution and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To validate the utility of a fully balanced steady-state free precession (TrueFISP) technique for microscopic experiments at high magnetic field strengths.
  • To assess the performance of TrueFISP in acquiring high-resolution images of various biological and phantom samples.
  • To compare the SNR and potential benefits of TrueFISP against conventional MRI sequences for microscopic applications.

Main Methods:
