This paper models extravascular MRI signal decay (R2/R2*) as a function of blood oxygenation, vessel geometry, and magnetic field strength up to 9.4 T using Monte Carlo diffusion simulations. It reports different vessel-size dependencies for Hahn-spin-echo versus gradient-recalled-echo relaxation across field…
