title: High-resolution imaging of the brain.
abstract: Phased-array imaging at 1.5 T is a practical means of obtaining high-resolution images of the brain. Our novel coil designs and image intensity correction algorithms, which are critical for the accurate interpretation of phased-array images of the brain, are described. High-resolution imaging of the brain has been proven to be clinically useful in the evaluation of patients with partial neocortial epilepsy and has potential clinical applications in mesial temporal sclerosis as well as in diffusion and functional imaging.
