Abstract

With the increased frequency of human 7T scanners, there is also a drive towards the implementation advanced MR sequences, such a myelin water imaging, at high fields. Here, we demonstrate the feasibility of translating 3T myelin acquisitions scheme, GRASE, to 7T. We studied the distribution of T values at 7T and determined that myelin water has a T <25ms. We obtained excellent agreement for myelin water fraction values in the corpus callosum between 3T and 7T.
