Abstract

A new super‐resolution method is presented to overcome limitations of spatial resolution in MRI. In contrast to previous attempts that are based on simple field of view shifts, the new method additionally modulates the longitudinal magnetization within the imaging plane for each shift, allowing the acquisition of new and independent k‐space data. With this approach, resolution improvements in up to three dimensions are possible, and the total acquisition time linearly scales with the improvement factor for each dimension. First super‐resolution experiments in a geometric phantom and in brain tissue of two healthy volunteers clearly demonstrate the feasibility and advantages of this new method, which has the capability to extend current resolution limits in MRI.

## Abstract The problem of increasing the slice resolution of functional MRI (fMRI) images without a loss in signal‐to‐noise ratio is considered. In standard fMRI experiments, increasing the slice resolution by a certain factor decreases the signal‐to‐noise ratio of the images with the same factor.

We have implemented the so-called λ-Zeeman technique (LZT) to investigate individual hyperfine transitions between Zeeman sublevels of the Rb atoms in a strong external magnetic field B in the range of 2500 -5000 G (recently it was established that LZT is very convenient for the range of 10 -2500 G)
