摘要: Calculated T1 images of the head and abdomen have been obtained using an alternating partial saturation-inversion recovery pulse sequence. Timing parameters were adjusted to yield optimum contrast-to-noise ratio for this sequence range studied. Adiabatic fast passage (AFP) was implemented nonselective inverting pulse, reduce sensitivity measurement RF static field inhomogeneity. A nonlinear frequency sweep used improve efficiency AFP pulse. The effect on calculation slice selection during pi/2 pulses also determined corrected in image reconstruction algorithm. T1's by method show a standard deviation less than 10%, good agreement with literature.
