Development of an inductively coupled MR coil system for imaging and spectroscopic analysis of an implantable bioartificial construct at 11.1 T.

abstract：:Two single-shot volume imaging techniques are described. The first, single-echo echo-volume imaging, is essentially the echo-volume imaging (EVI) sequence suggested by Mansfield (J. Phys. C. 10, L55 (1977)). The second is a multi-spin-echo approach in which one plane of k-space is collected during each spin echo. In b...
