A modified sub-second fast-STEAM sequence incorporating bipolar gradients for in vivo diffusion imaging.

abstract：:Flow measurement methods for functional MRI (fMRI) are desirable as they are more closely tied to neuronal activity than the commonly used blood oxygenation techniques. In this work we introduce a flow-based functional imaging method. The method, called flow enhancement of signal intensity (FENSI), is an extension of ...
