MR Microscopy Using Uniplanar Magnetic Field Gradients

A three-axis uniplanar microscopy gradient set is optimized to image millimeter scale samples using sub-second echo planar imaging sequences with short echo spacing at 7T. The gradient set is also used to acquire 3D time-resolved gradient echo images of cell division in fertilized frog embryos.
