Influence of RF spoiling on the stability and accuracy of T1 mapping based on spoiled FLASH with varying flip angles.

abstract：:The soft tissue contrast obtained in fast imaging using rapidly repeated partial saturation sequences is usually based on differences in T1. We describe here an extension of the method which results in the development of clinically useful T2-based contrast. ...
