Abstract
To develop an ultrafast 3D gradient echo–based MRI method with constant TE and high tolerance to B0 inhomogeneity, dubbed ERASE (equal-TE rapid acquisition with sequential excitation), and to introduce its use in BOLD functional MRI (fMRI). Theory and Methods: Essential features of ERASE, including spin behavior, were characterized, and a comparison study was conducted with conventional EPI. To demonstrate high tolerance to B0 inhomogeneity, in vivo imaging of the mouse brain with a fiber-optic implant was performed at 9.4 T, and human brain imaging (including the orbitofrontal cortex) was performed at 3 T and 7 T. To evaluate the performance of ERASE in BOLD-fMRI, the characteristics of SNR and temporal SNR were analyzed for in vivo rat brains at 9.4 T in comparison with multislice gradient-echo EPI. Percent signal changes and t-scores are also presented. Results: For both mouse brain and human brain imaging, ERASE exhibited a high tolerance to magnetic susceptibility artifacts, showing much lower distortion and signal dropout, especially in the regions involving large magnetic susceptibility effects. For BOLD-fMRI, ERASE provided higher temporal SNR and t-scores than EPI, but exhibited similar percent signal changes inin vivo rat brains at 9.4 T. Conclusion: When compared with conventional EPI, ERASE is much less sensitive, not only to EPI-related artifacts such as Nyquist ghosting, but also to B0 inhomogeneity including magnetic susceptibility effects. It is promising for use in BOLD-fMRI, providing higher temporal SNR and t-scores with constant TE when compared with EPI, although further optimization is needed for human fMRI.
