Imaging parameters of selected reports on in vivo MRI of the embryonic and neonatal mouse brain.

Study	Age	Instrument	Contrast agent (Concentration)	Resolution	Contrast and Sequence	Scan time
Szulc et al., 2015	P1–P11	7 T	MnCl2 (50 mg/kg maternal i.p. injection, 24 h prior MRI)	0.1 × 0.1 × 0.1 mm	T1, 3D GE TE/TR = 3.6/50 ms	~ 2 h
Deans et al., 2008	E12.5–E18.5	7 T	MnCl2 (up to 80 mg/kg maternal i.p. injection, 24 h prior MRI)	0.1 × 0.1 × 0.1 mm	T1, 3D GE TE/TR = 5/40 ms	70–90 min
Wu et al., 2015	E17	11.7 T	Magnevist (0.4 mMol/Kg, maternal i.p. injection, 2 h prior MRI)	0.16 × 0.16 × 0.16 mm	3D dw-GRASE, b = 1000 s/mm2, 30 directions	~ 2 h

dw, diffusion-weighted; FSE, fast spin echo; GRASE, gradient and spin echo; SE, spin echo; T, Telsa; TE, echo time; TR, repetition time.
