Hi
I hope you don't mind me using this forum to ask the following question, but
I figured that with your assorted skills that one of you was bound to be
able to advise me!
I wanted to know if anyone could advise me or direct me towards an
acquisition sequence which is particularly suited to detecting functional
activation deep within the temporal lobe
I recently used a sequence devloped at the FIL for imaging the OFC (the 30
degree tilt - DEICHMANN et al.) with great success and wondered if there was
something similar for the temporal lobe
I am a relative novice but have always been a bit suspicious about how much
signal can reliably be detected this far inside the brain
In case you need any specifics, we have a Siemens 3T Trio scanner with iPAT
capability and an 8 channel head coil
If you personally can't answer my question but you could direct me to
someone who might or to an article that might be of use (nothing too
technical though!) then that would also be very much appreciated
Thank you in advance for any suggestions :)
Have a nice day!
Rachel Mitchell
