Development of high-grade clinical imaging methods using a 7T-MRI system - Development of clinical imaging methods for a 7T-MRI system

Measurement stability of anatomical images were observed using quantitative values. It was relatively low at the skull base, but it was high at the convexity. Age-related changes were different among brain areas and quantitative values as well. MRS could detect more neurochemicals than 3T. Macromolecules are nuisance for quantitation, and they were measured in vivo and analysis parameters were optimized. Analysis method focused on alpha-glucose was also investigated.
