Has anyone attempted an MEMPR-like sequence as described by van der Kouwe et al (2008 NeuroImage 40: 559-569) on a 3T Philips Intera? The paper utilized a 3T Siemens TRIO. Are the published sequence parameters directly transferable to a 3T Philips Intera with an 8 channel head coil and SENSE? Or is some "translation" between Siemens & Philips needed to get it to work as well as published for the Siemens?
Many Thanks for any info,
Jenifer
Hi Jenifer,
Andre is out of town and only in sporadic email contact. I have no idea if the Philips sequence supports multiple echoes or not, but I would think the parameters (TR/echo spacing/TI/flip etc...) should all be the same
