Rapid
imaging of endogenously labeled neuroprogenitor cells in the rat brain is shown
using high-field MRI and efficient Steady-State Free Precession sequences. A RF-phase cycle progression based on the
Golden Angle is used to produce Linear Combination SSFP (LCSSFP)
images without banding artifacts. The method yields high resolution images with
few global distortions suitable for cell tracking and calculating relaxation
images.
