MRI can provide anatomy, function, and physiology all in
one setting, but its application to the thin retina has
remained challenging. Most previous studies of the
retina with MRI focused on 2D acquisitions with one
relatively thick slice. However, there is interest in
mapping the entire retina instead of a single 2D slice
through the center. In this study, we developed a full
3D MRI approach with approximately isotropic resolution
to image anatomy, function, and blood flow of the whole
mouse retina and choroid in vivo with high spatial
resolution based on balanced steady state free
precession (bSSFP).
