abstract：:A new ultrafast MR imaging method is proposed and tested, which enables whole-brain fMRI with a true temporal resolution of 1 sec. The method combines a 3D PRESTO pulse sequence with the concept of sensitivity-encoding with multiple receiver coils (SENSE). The so-called PRESTO-SENSE technique is demonstrated on a set ...
