Single‐shot localized echo‐planar imaging (STEAM‐EPI) at 4.7 tesla

The resolution and homogeneity limitations of echo‐planar imaging (EPI) are overcome by zoom imaging of an easily shimmed localized volume. Use of the stimulated echo enables single‐shot localization. In vivo 0.5‐mm resolution EPI images of selected regions of a cat brain at 4.7 T are presented. © 1990 Academic Press, Inc.
