This review article examines the state of knowledge regarding human imaging using MRI at
high main magnetic field strengths. The article starts with a summary of the technical issues …

▪ Abstract Among advances in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the increase of the
magnetic field strength is perhaps one of the most significant. The use of high magnetic …

Diffusion‐weighted single voxel experiments conducted at b‐values up to 1× 104 smm− 2
yielded biexponential signal attenuation curves for both normal and ischemic brain. The …

Reducing and continuously varying the flip angle of the refocusing RF pulses in a rapid
acquisition with relaxation enhancement (RARE; fast/turbo spin echo) sequence is a useful …

Background—High-resolution MRI has the potential to noninvasively image the human
coronary artery wall and define the degree and nature of coronary artery disease. Coronary …

Recent advances have reduced scan time in three‐dimensional fast spin echo (3D‐FSE)
imaging, including very long echo trains through refocusing flip angle (FA) modulation and …

The development and optimization of spin-echo–based, single-slab, three-dimensional
techniques for magnetic resonance imaging of the whole brain are described. T1-weighted …

A variation of the rapid acquisition with relaxation enhancement (RARE) sequence (also
called turbo spin‐echo (TSE) or fast spin‐echo (FSE)) is presented. This technique uses …

Although RARE and GRASE can produce single‐shot images of excellent quality, their utility
has been restricted because preparation of the magnetization with interesting contrast …

A novel spin‐echo‐based refocusing strategy called a hyperecho mechanism is introduced
by which the full coherence of magnetization submitted to a sequence of arbitrary RF pulses …
