of the relaxation times is not only necessary for sequence optimization; it
may also be decisive to judge the advantages for ultra-high field MRI. Here, T1, T2 and T2*
in the rat brain were measured at
16.4 T with a spatial resolution of 180 m inplane. The relaxation times were
quantified with high accuracy for 20 anatomical structures and maps were
generated to display the spatial distribution of the relaxation times over
the brain.
