Concurrent CBF and BOLD fMRI with dual-echo spiral simultaneous multi-slice acquisitions at 7T

•Dual-echo out-in simultaneous multi-slice spiral readout was successfully implemented in an ASL sequence for concurrent measurements of CBF and BOLD contrasts at 7T.•In-vivo measurements resulted in robust detection of perfusion and BOLD activation, with no loss of sensitivity compared to Cartesian acquisitions.•For 7T fMRI applications at moderate spatial resolution (2 mm isotropic), dual-echo spiral acquisitions show promise for simultaneous acquisitions of non-BOLD and BOLD contrasts with no loss in temporal resolution.
