✦ Synopsis

Spin-lattice (T1) relaxation times are conventionally estimated using inversion recovery or saturation recovery sequences. Such "recovery" methods are limited in magnetic resonance imaging by the long times required to collect multiple points along the T1 relaxation curve. This problem can be overcome by the use of "one-shot" methods, which collect all points along the relaxation curve in a single excitation. We have compared the relative efficiency of these methods, on the basis of the signal-to-noise ratio obtained in the calculated T1 image from an exam time of fixed duration. We have found that a one-shot method using stimulated echoes has a poor efficiency. However, a method based on a technique first proposed by Look and Locker has an efficiency that is almost equal to the inversion recovery method and therefore possesses highly favorable properties for T1 imaging.

## Abstract Longitudinal relaxation times (__T__~1~) can be measured rapidly in an imaging context using a “one‐shot” method based on the pulse sequence originally proposed by D. C. Look and D. R.

In this paper we consider methods of gradient recovery in the context of primitive-variable finite-element solutions of viscous flow problems. Two methods are considered: a global method based on a Galerkin weighted residual procedure, and a direct method where gradients are recovered directly at in
