In this work 17O MRI at natural abundance is presented
with a transmit/receive (Tx/Rx) 17O head coil at a
clinical field strength of 3 T. Image data sets are
acquired of the human brain in an acquisition time of 20
min, and data are co-registered to 1H brain data sets.
Data from this preliminary study show that 17O whole
brain MRI is possible in a clinical setting.
