DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVE METHODS FOR FUNCTIONAL MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING AT 7 TESLA

Within the last decade, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners with ultra-high magnetic field strengths of 7 Tesla and above have become available. While high magnetic fields provide theoretical improvements in the nuclear magnetic resonance signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and in the blood-oxygenatio...
