## Abstract The quantification of blood oxygenation‐level dependent (BOLD) functional MRI (fMRI) signals is closely related to cerebral blood flow (CBF) change; therefore, understanding the exact relationship between BOLD and CBF changes on a pixel‐by‐pixel basis is fundamental. In this study, quan
The increased blood oxygenation level-dependent contrast-to-noise ratio at ultrahigh field (7 T) has been exploited in a comparison of the spatial location and strength of activation in high-resolution (1.5 mm isotropic) gradient echo (GE) and spin echo (SE), echo planar imaging data acquired during
## Abstract ## Purpose: To compare the diagnostic accuracy of superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO)‐enhanced fluid‐attenuated inversion‐recovery echo‐planar imaging (FLAIR EPI) for malignant liver tumors with that of T2‐weighted turbo spin‐echo (TSE), T2\*‐weighted gradient‐echo (GRE), and diffusion
## Abstract ## Purpose To investigate the relevance of increasing __b__‐values in evaluating liver fibrosis through the agreement of two diffusion‐weighted (DW) sequences. ## Materials and Methods A total of 29 cirrhotic patients and 29 healthy volunteers were studied on a 1.5T system. Two singl
