Purpose To evaluate the utility of an efficient triple velocity‐encoding (VENC) 4D flow MRI implementation to improve velocity unwrapping of 4D flow MRI data with the same scan time as an interleaved dual‐VENC acquisition. Methods A balanced 7‐point acquisition was used to derive 3 sets of 4D flow images corresponding to 3 different VENCs. These 3 datasets were then used to unwrap the aliased lowest VENC into a minimally aliased, triple‐VENC dataset. Triple‐VENC MRI was evaluated and compared...

Purpose Functional MRI contrast has generally been associated with changes in transverse relaxivity caused by blood oxygen concentration, the so‐called blood oxygen level dependent contrast. However, this interpretation of fMRI contrast has been called into question by several recent experiments at high spatial resolution. Experiments were conducted to examine contrast dependencies that cannot be explained only by differences in relaxivity in a single‐spin population. Methods Measurements...

Purpose Determine the impact of the microscopic spatial distribution of iron on relaxometry and susceptibility‐based estimates of iron concentration. Methods Monte Carlo simulations and in vitro experiments of erythrocytes were used to create different microscopic distributions of iron. Measuring iron with intact erythrocyte cells created a heterogeneous distribution of iron, whereas lysing erythrocytes was used to create a homogeneous distribution of iron. Multi‐echo spin echo and spoiled...
