## Abstract The objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of whole‐body imaging at 7T. To achieve this objective, new technology and methods were developed. Radio frequency (RF) field distribution and specific absorption rate (SAR) were first explored through numerical modeling. A
Myocardial hemorrhage can be assessed implementing T2 and T2\* mapping techniques, however robust myocardial T2 and T2\* mapping is challenging at 3T. The goal of this study was to test T2 and T2\* myocardial mapping techniques at 3T, with potential improvement in image quality on a system employing
## Abstract ## Purpose To evaluate the influence of Gd‐DTPA on cartilage T2 mapping using turbo‐mixed (tMIX) imaging, and to show the possible usefulness of the tMIX technique for simultaneously acquiring T1 and T2 information in cartilage. ## Materials and Methods Twenty volunteers underwent MR
MR oximetry requires a T2 measurement that is accurate within 5% in vivo. Simple methods are susceptible to signal loss and tend to underestimate T2. Current methods utilize RF pulses or RF cycling patterns that prevent signal loss at each data acquisition. However, using these methods with imperfec
