Significant advances in magnetic resonance microscopy (MRM) have been made possible by a combination of higher magnetic fields and more robust data acquisition and processing methods. This technical progress has enabled a shift in MRM applications from basic anatomical investigations to dynamic and functional studies, boosting the use of MRM in biological and life sciences.This book aims to serve as an MRI microscopy tutorial for students and postdocs beginning research in this field, or for more senior researchers who are seeking to incorporate high-resolution MRI into theneuroscience studies. It includes numerous image examples along with the experimental parameters used to acquire them, which can serve as practical guidelines to anyone performing MRM experiments. The first part of the book introduces the MRM hardware and data acquisition methods required at high magnetic fields, followed by an in-depth discussion of relevant contrast mechanisms. A review of the most effective strategies for image artifact correction is also provided. The last part is dedicated to biological applications and presents a number of concrete examples of neuroscience investigations. Particular attention is given to high resolution diffusion weighted and functional manganese enhanced MRM studies. [Source: 4e de couv.].
