Impact of fixation, coil, and number of excitations on diffusion tensor imaging of rat brains at 7.0 T

Abstract Background We sought to compare diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) parameters in vivo and ex vivo in the brain and to explore the effects of radiofrequency coil and number of excitations on ex vivo DTI parameters. Methods Six Sprague–Dawley rat brains were used to obtain in vivo and ex vivo DTI...
