摘要: A new acquisition technique for rapid, whole-brain functional MRI is presented. In this technique, several slices are simultaneously acquired using rosette k-space trajectories and a gradient-induced frequency modulation. This modulation together with the spectral properties of allow all to be reconstructed individually. studies, rates 16.7 25 images/s were achieved, threefold improvement over single-slice acquisitions. The raw images showed some increase in noise. However, because mostly stationary, activation maps only slight noise (8%).
