| Abstract: | Combination of the Super Fast Inversion Recovery (SUFIR) method (D. Canet, J. Brondeau, and K. Elbayed, J. Magn. Reson. 77, 483 (1988)) and imaging procedures by radiofrequency field gradients (P. Maffei, P. Mutzenhardt, A. Retournard, B. Diter, R. Raulet, J. Brondeau, and D. Canet, J. Magn. Reson. A 107, 40 (1994)) provides spatially resolved maps of longitudinal relaxation times (T1). In addition to accurate T1 values, enhanced spatial resolution is obtained. |
