Synopsis

Keywords: High-Field MRI, Head & Neck/ENTIn this work, we represented 7T simultaneous brain and cervical spinal cord images with diagnostic quality. The images were acquired with a 16-channel transceiver array in a 7T 8-channel parallel transmit system which has RF shimming capability, Specifically, we acquired MP2RAGE and FLAIR images of the head and T2-weighted and GRE images of the cervical spinal cord with parameter settings in sequences for clinical applications in our center. These images show high-resolution anatomical structures and nice contrast of white and gray matters. Moreover, all these images were acquired without changing the table position or repositioning the volunteers during the scan.
