Health and infarcted brain tissues studied at short diffusion times: the origins of apparent restriction and the reduction in apparent diffusion coefficient.

abstract：:MR spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) at ultra-high field (≥7 T) benefits from improved sensitivity that allows the detection of low-concentration metabolites in the brain. However, optimized acquisition techniques are required to overcome inherent limitations of MRSI at ultra-high field. This work describes an optimized me...
