Initial investigation of effects due to reduced TR on RSNs at a 0.5 T MR scanner. There was a decrease in detected regions within specific networks for the 3 T data as TR was reduced. However, when the tSNR was approximately 17 ignoring the expected decrement of detected regions compared to the 3 T data, there was an increase in positive detection at shorter TR. These result show the possibility of extracting true RSNs for a low field scanner using shorter TRs which can lead to efficient sequence design since T1 is shortened at low fields.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
