TL;DR

The first echo-volumar brain images obtained at 3.0 T are presented, together with the first functional imaging results using echo volumar imaging, showing local cortical changes in signal in response to an external visual stimulus for both the left and the right brain hemispheres.

Abstract

The snapshot acquisition of a whole-volume data set has a number of advantages when considering motional effects or functional image changes that may involve time delays or phase effects within different cortical regions. Instantaneous acquisition of the whole data set means accurate phase information may be straightforwardly obtained.
