While echo planar imaging (EPI) is successful in many MRI applications, this study demonstrates that radial EPI is applicable to brain MRI as well. Initial volumetric brain experiments at 1 mm isotropic resolution show that radial EPI is capable of rendering high-quality T1- and T2*-weighted images at 2.5 and 1.3 minutes scan time, respectively. Further, radial EPI requires neither magnetization preparation nor fat saturation.
