Relaxometry of brain: why white matter appears bright in MRI.

abstract：PURPOSE:To obtain multicontrast images including fat-suppressed contrast image, a novel multicontrast imaging method using an SSFP sequence with alternating RF flip angles is proposed. METHODS:The proposed method uses the balanced SSFP sequence with 2 flip angles. In general, the conventional balanced SSFP sequence ha...
