A 3D MRF method was developed for T₁ and T₂ mapping of the entire monkey brain with high spatial resolution (0.35x0.35x1 mm³). A conformal head coil was used for improved SNR, which enabled a 24-fold acceleration in data acquisition. B₁ inhomogeneity was corrected in dictionary matching. Comparison of the T₁ and T₂ maps showed a ~20% reduction of T₂ in the globus pallidus of 6-year-old monkeys compared to 4-year-old monkeys.
