MR Spin Behavior During RF Pulses: T2 vs. T2' Relaxation
Introduction: We investigate the behavior of the MR magnetization vector during RF pulses in the presence of rapid transverse relaxation. The transverse relaxation is divided into two separate mechanisms: Homogeneously broadened lines which resulting in irreversible T2 amplitude decay, and inhomogeneously broadened lines resulting in dephasing and in principle refocusable T2’. While the two dif...
متن کاملReproducibility of three different cardiac T2-mapping sequences at 1.5T and impact of cofactors on T2-relaxation times
PURPOSE To elucidate the impact of technical and intraindividual reproducibility on the overall variability of myocardial T2 relaxation times. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty healthy volunteers were examined three times (day 1 morning/evening, evening after 2-3 weeks) at 1.5T. During each examination three different T2 -mapping sequences were acquired twice at three slices in short axis view: mu...

متن کاملThe value of T2 relaxation times to characterize lumbar intervertebral disks: preliminary results.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The present standard for staging intervertebral disk degeneration is a discrete scale, consisting usually of 5 stages. The purpose of this pilot study was to investigate the use of T2 measurements as a continuous measure of intervertebral disk degeneration. METHODS We obtained images in 5 volunteers with a 3D fast spin-echo sequence modified for the purpose of calculati...
متن کاملB1-insensitive T2 mapping of healthy thigh muscles using a T2-prepared 3D TSE sequence
PURPOSE To propose a T2-prepared 3D turbo spin echo (T2prep 3D TSE) sequence for B1-insensitive skeletal muscle T2 mapping and compare its performance with 2D and 3D multi-echo spin echo (MESE) for T2 mapping in thigh muscles of healthy subjects. METHODS The performance of 2D MESE, 3D MESE and the proposed T2prep 3D TSE in the presence of transmit B1 and B0 inhomogeneities was first simulated...
