- We measured in vivo human brain T2* values using 7T MRI at 0.35 × 0.35 × 0.35 mm3 using MRI at 7 T.
- Gray matter T2* locally varies up to 15 ms within Heschl’s gyrus & Calcarine sulcus across cortical depths.
- T2* seems more affected by biological tissue compositions than local cortex alignment to B0.
Figure 2. Top row shows a zoomed-in image around Heschl's gyrus. Bottom row shows a zoomed-in image around the calcarine sulcus. Left column shows MP2RAGE UNI contrasts and right column shows T2* measurements obtained from ME-GRE.
Figure 3. A) Showing steps for generating our regions of interest centered around the primary auditory and visual cortices. B) showing steps for the depth metrics and B0 alignment.
