This article demonstrates that the results of the phantom experiment show close agreement between SNR improvement with and without diffusion-encoding gradient lobes, indicating that there is no loss of SNR due to side effects of the high amplitude gradient lobes. Download presentation slides.

Julien Cohen-Adad, M. Dylan Tisdall, Ralph Kimmlingen, Eva Eberlein, Thomas Witzel, Philipp Hoecht, Boris Keil, Juergen Nistler, Dietmar Lehne, Keith Heberlein, Jennifer A. McNab, Herbert Thein, Franz Schmitt, Bruce R. Rosen, Van J. Wedeen, and Lawrence L. Wald

This study presents the first in vivo human diffusion-weighted data acquired at Gmax=300 mT/m.

A 64 channel receive-only field camera for eddy current and trajectory calibration

V. Tountcheva, B. Keil, T. Witzel, D. Tisdall, P. Hoecht, L.L. Wald

In this work, the authors construct and validate a 64-channel field camera to study eddy currents induced by the high maximum amplitude gradients (Gmax= 300mT/m) of a diffusion dedicated scanner constructed for the Human Connectome Project.
