Combined fMRI T2*-weighted imaging of the human brain and cervical spinal cord has been accelerated by simultaneous multi-slice (SMS) imaging of the brain volume. The implementation has been tested and evaluated in phantoms and in vivo and shows a very similar performance to non-accelerated and brain-only measurements. With the much shorter acquisition times achievable it could help to improve brain volume coverage of cortico-spinal fMRI.
