Gowland Received: 9 July 2007 / Revised: 17 December 2007 / Accepted: 7 January 2008 / Published online: 8 February 2008 © ESMRMB 2008 Abstract was found to have five readouts at TIs of 120, 260, 563, 1,221, Method This paper presents methods of measuring the lon- 2,647, 5,736 ms and TR of 7 s. The optimal pulse sequence gitudinal relaxation time using inversion recovery turbo spin for MPRAGE with readout flip angle = 8 was found to have echo (IR-TSE) and magnetization-prepared rapid gradient five readouts at TIs of 160, 398, 988, 2,455, and 6,102 ms and echo (MPRAGE) sequences, comparing and optimizing these a TR of 9 s. Further optimization including the readout flip sequences, reporting T values for water protons measured angle suggests that the TI - Water proton T 1 measurements in brain tissue at 7, 3, and 1.5T using IR-EPI, IR-TSE, and MPRAGE: results and optimization JF - Magnetic Resonance Materials in Physics, Biology and Medicine DO - 10.1007/s10334-008-0104-8 DA - 2008-02-08 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/springer-journals/water-proton-t-1-measurements-in-brain-tissue-at-7-3-and-1-5t-using-ir-CKe5odzFAp SP - 121 EP - 130 VL - 21 IS - 2 DP - DeepDyve ER -
