Eight-channel phased array coil and detunable TEM volume coil for 7 T brain imaging.

abstract：PURPOSE:T2 -relaxation-under-spin-tagging (TRUST) is an MR technique for the non-invasive assessment of whole-brain cerebral oxygen extraction fraction (OEF), through measurement of the venous blood T2 relaxation time in the sagittal sinus. A key limitation of TRUST, however, is the lack of spatial specificity of the m...
