Conventional MRI has several limitations such as long scan durations motion artifacts very
loud acoustic noise signal loss due to short relaxation times and RF induced heating of
electrically conducting objects. The goals of this work are to evaluate and improve the
state-of-the-art methods for MRI of tissue with short T2 to prove the feasibility of in vivo
Concurrent Excitation and Acquisition and to introduce simultaneous electroglottography
measurement during functional lung MRI.
