Re: [HCP-Users] rsfMRI at 7 Tesla

[Glasser, Matthew]

We used ipat=2 MB=5 for 1.6mm isotropic data with TR=1s (for reasons of improving temporal cleanup, I might be inclined to do 2mm and shorten the TR further like the 3T HCP data, but there are still active investigations into whether the 1.6mm data allow us to see finer details).  The main trick with the 7T HCP data is that we are using the 3T structural scans (T1w and T2w at 0.7mm).  The 3D T2w SPACE is hard to get at 7T because of SAR issues, and T1w MPRAGEs are much more inhomgeneous in their flip angles than at 3T, though hopefully it will be more possible when parallel transmit becomes more standard.   The grayordinatewise CNR is dramatically higher in the 7T HCP data, however.   Peace, Matt.

I am testing rsfMRI 1.6x1.6x1.6: 1. MB5 TR=962 vs MB4 TR=1090 2. B0Fieldmap vs Topups High order and degree shimming (1st and 2nd), 24channel coil.  My conclusion is MB4 TR=1090 and Topups. Will test tomorrow high order and degree shimming (3rd and 4th degree), quadrature.  Wanted to here some expert opinions… I would like to acquire data to be processed through the HCP whenever it is possible. I attached very preliminary protocol just in case you can take a look and give me some feedback.
