High-resolution structural and functional assessments of cerebral microvasculature using 3D Gas ΔR2*-mMRA.

The ability to evaluate the cerebral microvascular structure and function is crucial for investigating pathological processes in brain disorders. Previous angiographic methods based on blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) contrast offer appropriate visualization of the cerebral vasculature, but these...
