  • Title: Fast T2-mapping with snapshot flash imaging.
    Author: Deichmann R, Adolf H, Nöth U, Morrissey S, Schwarzbauer C, Haase A.
    Journal: Magn Reson Imaging; 1995; 13(4):633-9. PubMed ID: 7674860.
    Abstract:
    It has been shown recently that quantitative T2-maps may be measured by acquisition of a series of at least eight T2-weighted SNAPSHOT FLASH images. These measurements require a relaxation delay of 10-15 s after each T2-weighted image for the complete relaxation of the spin system. This results in long measuring times. The method presented in this paper allows a considerable reduction of the measuring time by combining the T2-sequence with a fast T1-measurement. Quantitative T1- and T2-maps may be acquired simultaneously in less than 30 s. The method was tested in a phantom experiment. In an in vivo application, relaxation times of different tissues in the abdomen of a rat were measured.
