Synopsis
Improving sensitivity has been the major challenge towards realizing the promises of 19F-MRI. Here we combine a cryogenic surface RF probe and compressed sensing to achieve high spatially resolved 19F-MRI of neuroinflammation in a challenging longitudinal study. Inflammation in the CNS was observed even in the absence of neurological symptoms and detailed signals along the CNS vasculature are clearly resolved. Together with effective longitudinal registration this allows an in-depth study of disease progression.
