Visualization of cortical spreading depression using manganese-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging.

abstract：:It is demonstrated that the stability of the Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) sequence reflects the existence of a steady state solution to the Bloch equations in the absence of T2 and T1 decay. The steady state theory is then used to evaluate the performance of low flip angle RARE imaging sequences with both constant...
