Sub-millimeter fMRI at very high fields with EPI is
challenging due to the rapid signal decay and B0-related
distortions. Balanced SSFP offers the possibility of
high-resolution (100 um) acquisitions without spatial
distortions and significantly higher temporal resolution
compared to FLASH. Observed signal changes largely
depend on T2 rather than T2* indicating a higher spatial
selectivity compared to gradient echo-based methods.
