✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Purpose

To investigate practical methods for achieving routine simultaneous 2D MRI of multiple animals in large‐bore experimental scanners.

Materials and Methods

Three four‐element array geometries were compared against a standard single‐coil configuration in terms of image quality, ease of use, and data efficiency using a four‐channel, 4.7 T small animal imaging system.

Results

A linear arrangement of volume resonators permits unobstructed animal preparation and use of an imaging protocol that is almost identical to the single‐coil configuration without requiring any image correction or other additional postprocessing. Resulting in vivo images were visually indistinguishable from those acquired through the single‐coil configuration.

Conclusion

The efficiency of animal studies employing 2D MRI techniques can be substantially improved by using a linear array of commercially available resonators. J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2007;26:1162–1166. © 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

## Abstract Global effects in functional MRI are temporal modulations in signal intensity resulting from various scanner and subject phenomena. These effects contribute to the overall variance, reducing the effect size associated with an experimental paradigm. Statistical estimations that include a

## Abstract Each __k__‐space segment in multishot diffusion‐weighted MRI is affected by a different spatially varying phase which is caused by unavoidable motions and amplified by the diffusion‐encoding gradients. A proper image reconstruction therefore requires phase maps for each segment. Such ma
