Aim of this work is to perform a punctual optimization
of RARE parameters for 19F MRI studies of labeled
neuronal stem cells. This approach is based on
relaxation times estimation and numerical simulations.
The optimization approach was evaluated in different
biological environments at 11.7T MRI scanner.A correct
optimization strategy increases the sensitivity of 19F
MRI technique.
