Known specialized properties of the human visual cortex have been used to investigate the role of spatial resolution on fMRI using blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) echo-planar MRI at 3.0 tesla. The magnitude of BOLD signal changes has been examined at low (3.1ϫ 3.1ϫ 3.0 mm 3 ) and high (0.8ϫ

Echo-planar imaging using a magnetic field strength of 0.5 T has resulted in an improvement in image quality compared with recent images published at 0.1 T. The sensitivity ofthe technique to main magnetic field inhomogeneity and transient eddy currents has necessitated innovations in gradient and r
## Abstract Echo‐planar imaging is used in combination with a spin preparation phase to produce a T1‐weighted image. The small additional time penalty in this procedure does not detract significantly from the ultrahigh‐speed imaging capability of EPI, allowing a rapid real‐time optimization of tiss
## Abstract Echo‐planar imaging (EPI) on the authors' 1‐T prototype im‐ager provides high‐quality 100‐msec images of the central nervous system. Contrast parameters can be chosen freely. Three‐dimensional EPI sequences provide isotropically resolved data sets with 1‐mm resolution. Brain perfusion a
