We don’t have any experience with such high resolution fMRI locally here at WU. Perhaps others will comment if they’ve tried something similar. I would expect that SNR is going to be a serious problem at that resolution at 3T.

Cortex is 1.6mm thick at the minimum, and you have to increase the TR substantially which isn’t so good either for maximizing one’s functional CNR. Peace, Matt.

Three comments though: (1) a 204 mm in-plane FOV is rather tight; (2) 1.5 mm voxels is going to require a longer TE and echo train, and/or the use of phase partial Fourier; (3) You’re going to be rather SNR-starved at 1.5 mm isotropic at 3T. cheers, -MH -- Michael Harms, Ph.D. ----------------------------------------------------------- Conte Center for the Neuroscience of Mental Disorders Washington University School of Medicine Department of Psychiatry, Box 8134 660 South Euclid Ave. Tel: 314-747-6173 St. Louis, MO 63110 Email: [email protected]<redir.aspx?REF=t0kF0U2Zx1Ws48EKSZirue0pWmiQ2iskZIB64chxkC-PVpBQ_wHUCAFtYWlsdG86bWhhcm1zQHd1c3RsLmVkdQ..> From: <[email protected]<redir.aspx?REF=C4QgP1E05sFXZI9a3Yw7XrFFeEzPROOyxiAUIiWdXiKPVpBQ_wHUCAFtYWlsdG86aGNwLXVzZXJzLWJvdW5jZXNAaHVtYW5jb25uZWN0b21lLm9yZw..>> on behalf of Sebastien Hetu <[email protected]<redir.aspx?REF=nw2DCj4lj5er1GU242cVJZAmbutwf--GKL7_dA9_LeOPVpBQ_wHUCAFtYWlsdG86c2ViaGV0dUB2dGMudnQuZWR1>> Date: Monday, October 31, 2016 at 11:03 AM To: "[email protected]<redir.aspx?REF=Rf55jWWJl_dnKkmCh_DzVGd8B0egAl1z2hn4Zw_tMoaPVpBQ_wHUCAFtYWlsdG86aGNwLXVzZXJzQGh1bWFuY29ubmVjdG9tZS5vcmc.>" <[email protected]<redir.aspx?REF=Rf55jWWJl_dnKkmCh_DzVGd8B0egAl1z2hn4Zw_tMoaPVpBQ_wHUCAFtYWlsdG86aGNwLXVzZXJzQGh1bWFuY29ubmVjdG9tZS5vcmc.>> Subject: [HCP-Users] FoV phase for fMRI Hi, We are trying to run a fMRI sequence on our PRISMA similar to the one used in the HCP–lifespan but with 1.5mm isotropic voxels and a AP phase encoding direction. In the HCP sequence documents, it is mentioned that if we use AP phase encoding we should use a FoV phase of 100%. We seem to be unable to set our FoV phase to 100%—we can only go to 103% (with our FoV of 204 mm). Do you know how to set the sequence to have 100% available?
