This engineering-focused mouse fMRI study evaluated a 400-MHz cryogenic RF probe (CryoProbe) versus a conventional room-temperature surface coil during electrical forepaw stimulation. The CryoProbe increased image SNR and temporal SNR and reduced temporal noise compared with the room-temperature coil. The authors…
