that is, using approximately 12-fold smaller voxel volumes relative to previous standard high resolutions of 0.8 mm achieved within acceptable scan times.
For scan-rescan data, we re-used our previous dataset (Schwarz et al., 2021) of back-to-back T1-weighted MRI scan-pairs of 117 ADNI participants, where identical 3T MPRAGE sequences were used for both scans, and patients were not repositioned (Jack et al., 2008). 2.5.3. T2-FLAIR...
To ensure safety, patients and support staff should be thoroughly screened for metal objects prior to entering the scan room. Often, however, patients have implants inside them that make it very dangerous for them to be in the presence of a strong magnetic field. These include: Metallic fragmen...

The ramped-down system was used as a test platform for a variety of scan techniques and hardware tests. Apart from mapping static, transmit, and receive fields, gradient modulation transfer functions and audio response functions were obtained. In vivo data were acquired on healthy subjects in acco...
(PowerScan, MR Solutions Ltd., Guildford, Surrey, UK). For the acquisition of MR signals, a single-loop transmit/receive surface coil with a diameter of 35 mm (Doty Scientific, Columbia, SC, USA) was utilized. Further information regarding the integration, calibration, and validation of this...
