Hippocampal subfields are affected selectively in different disease processes but the interpretations are mostly limited to accurate volume measurements. Quantitative T 2 or T 2 * relaxometry using high field MRI may be a more sensitive measure for hippocampal subfields compared to volumetric measurements. Here we investigate the absolute measures of spin-echo T 2 and gradient-echo T 2 * of the hippocampal subfields at 4.7 T using stimulated echo compensation and susceptibility compensation.
