## Abstract A new functional imaging method has been developed and used to measure __T__~2~\*‐ and initial intensity (I~0~)‐parameter maps of multiple slices during activation of the cortex with high temporal resolution. Multiple echo‐planar images (EPls) are read out after a single excitation of t

## Abstract Single‐shot echo planar imaging (EPI) techniques have been applied, in conjunction with arterial spin tagging approaches, to obtain images of cerebral blood flow in a single axial slice in the human brain. Serial studies demonstrate that cerebral blood flow images acquired in 8 min are
## Abstract Functional perfusion imaging with a separate labeling coil located above the common carotid artery was demonstrated in human volunteers at 3 T. A helmet resonator and a spin‐echo echo‐planar imaging (EPI) sequence were used for imaging, and a circular surface coil of 6 cm i.d. was emplo
## Abstract A 3‐dimensional MRI method has been developed for functional mapping of the human brain, based on blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) contrast mechanisms. The method uses recently introduced principles of echo‐shifted FLASH to acquire a single 3D data set in 20 s. The technique was
## Abstract Functional NMR imaging of the brains response to a simple visual task has been performed using a fast spin echo (FSE) imaging sequence at 1.5 T. The FSE method refocuses dephasing effects induced by large‐scale susceptibility variations, and permits imaging in regions where macroscopic
