Imaging brain microvasculature is important in cerebrovascular diseases. However, there is still a lack of non-invasive, non-radiation, and whole-body imaging techniques to investigate them. The aim of this study is to develop an ultra-small superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO) enhanced susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) method for imaging micro-vasculature in both animal (~10 μm in rat) and human

Few studies have focused on metabolite diffusion in the human brain using 1 H-MRS due to significant technical challenges. Moreover, such studies have required lengthy acquisition times and are therefore impractical to implement clinically. By first characterizing and then minimizing the effects of linear and oscillating eddy currents, which arise from the diffusion gradients, and by implementing phase-cycle

Water content-based electrical properties tomography (wEPT) can retrieve electrical properties (EPs) from water content maps, thereby eliminating the need for B1 field measurement in the traditional magnetic resonance electrical properties tomography method. The wEPT is performed by conventional MR scanning, such as T1 -weighted spin-echo imaging, and thus can be directly applied to clinical settings
