## Abstract ## Purpose To develop a spinal functional MRI (fMRI) method with threeβdimensional coverage of a large extent of the spinal cord with minimal partial volume effects ## Materials and Methods fMRI data of the cervical spinal cord were obtained at 1.5 T with a singleβshot fast spinβecho
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a non-invasive neuroimaging tool that indirectly identifies areas of neural activity in the brain and more recently has been applied to the adult spinal cord (spinal fMRI). Spinal fMRI could clearly benefit pediatric populations as well. The purpose of
