In this study, spin-echo and gradient-echo-based perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques are systematically compared with respect to their application in the human brain. Six healthy subjects were evaluated with both techniques consecutively and injected twice with a gadolinium-based c
## Perfusion -weighted imaging techniques employing blood water protons as an endogenous tracer have poor temporal resolution because each image should be acquired with an adequate spin 'tagging' time. Thus, perfusion-based functional magnetic resonance imaging studies are typically performed on a
## Abstract A new MRI method with a contrast that is derived from the macromolecular composition and spin dynamics in the tissue is described and demonstrated on excised mouse brain and rat spinal cord. In the method, magnetization is selectively excited in the macromolecules by using a double quan
