Spin Echo and Echo Planar imaging of resected nervous
tissue presents a specific challenge due to
susceptibility differences between tissue and air, and
due to high signal from encapsulating media. The
researchers developed an encapsulation method for brain
tissue that minimized susceptibility artifacts in echo
planar images and preserved contrast in spin echo
images.
