Prospects of non-Cartesian 3D-SPARKLING encoding for functional MRI: A preliminary case study for retinotopic mapping
2023-08-03 Zaineb Amor, Chaithya Giliyar Radhakrishna, Guillaume Daval-Frérot, et al. Joint Annual Meeting ISMRM-ESMRMB & ISMRT 31st Annual Meeting

For the first time, non-Cartesian 3D-SPARKLING (Spreading Projection Algorithm for Rapid K-space sampLING) encoding scheme was used for task-based fMRI (retinotopic mapping) at 7T. Additionally, this new acquisition technique was compared with 3D-EPI, considered as one of the reference acquisition schemes in…

Impact of ΔB0 field imperfections correction on BOLD sensitivity in 3D-SPARKLING fMRI data
2023-06-03 Zaineb Amor, Caroline Le Ster, Chaithya Giliyar Radhakrishna, et al. Magnetic Resonance in Medicine

Purpose Static and dynamic field imperfections are detrimental to functional MRI (fMRI) applications, especially at ultra‐high magnetic fields (UHF). In this work, a field camera is used to assess the benefits of retrospectively correcting field perturbations on Blood Oxygen Level Dependent (BOLD) sensitivity in…
