## Abstract Optimization of magnetizationβprepared rapid gradientβecho (MPβRAGE) sequence variations for maximum white matter (WM) versus gray matter (GM) contrast in neonates at 3T was investigated. Numerical simulations were applied to optimize and compare three contrast preparation modules and t

the vesselwall cells are large enough. With respect to the brain the situation is even easier. Because of the presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), represented mainly by endothelial tight junctions, all current available MR contrast media do not leak into the brain tissue. The BBB blocks all mo
Ultra-high-field 7 T magnetic resonance (MR) scanners offer the potential for greatly improved MR spectroscopic imaging due to increased sensitivity and spectral resolution. Prior 7 T human single-voxel MR Spectroscopy (MRS) studies have shown significant increases in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and
## Abstract ## Purpose To examine the ability of TrueFISP imaging for evaluating tumor size in mouse brain at high field. ## Materials and Methods Brains of healthy and gliomaβimplanted nude mice were imaged at 4.7T and 9.4T. 3D imaging was performed with TrueFISP and T2wβRARE. Radiofrequency pu
