Measuring T2 and T1, and imaging T2 without spin echoes

Single Scan T1 and T2* Mapping without Flip Angle Correction

Introduction: Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging is a powerful tool for investigating a large variety of biological phenomena. Thus, big efforts have been made during the recent years in order to develop fast methods for the quantitative assessment of various MR parameters. Two very important parameters are the T1 and T2* relaxation times. Here a new method for the simultaneous measurement...

Cardiac and Hepatic T2*-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Abstract Background Iron overload is the main transfusion related side effects in patients with transfusion dependent hemoglobinopathies. Severe iron deposition in tissues leads to organ dysfunction. Many organs can be affected such as heart, liver, and endocrine organs. Cardiac failure and liver fibrosis are the consequent of Iron overload in transfusion dependent hemoglobinopathy. Magne...

WE-DE-206-01: MRI Signal in Biological Tissues - Proton, Spin, T1, T2, T2.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become an essential part of clinical imaging due to its ability to render high soft tissue contrast. Instead of ionizing radiation, MRI use strong magnetic field, radio frequency waves and field gradients to create diagnostic useful images. It can be used to image the anatomy and also functional and physiological activities within the human body. Knowledge o...
