Area of Science:

Neuroimaging
Developmental Neuroscience
Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Background:

Personalized functional brain mapping (PFM) is crucial for understanding developmental trajectories.
Current PFM in infants using 3T MRI has limitations in reliability and precision, especially in subcortical regions.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the utility of high-field 7T MRI compared to 3T MRI for PFM in infants.
To assess the safety and feasibility of 7T MRI in infant neuroimaging.

Main Methods:

Multi-echo fMRI acquisitions were performed on infants at both 7T and 3T.
A subject-specific safety workflow was implemented for 7T imaging.
Data quality, spatial resolution, and reliability were compared between 7T and 3T.

Main Results:

7T MRI is safe and feasible for infants.
Higher magnetic field strength (7T) provides improved spatial resolution suitable for infant brain anatomy.
7T MRI yielded notable improvements in data quality, spatial precision, and reliability for PFM.

Conclusions:

7T MRI significantly enhances PFM in infants, potentially reducing data acquisition time.
Ultra-high field imaging facilitates the study of subcortical-to-cortical connectivity development.
7T MRI represents a promising advancement for developmental cognitive neuroscience research.
