Inversion recovery has the potential to be a powerful method of determining the values of T1 in in vivo studies. However, because of its relative slowness it is not practical to undertake several experiments with different values of the interval between the magnetization inverting 180 degree pulse a

Abstract
A simple scheme for the polarity correction of absolute images from inversion recovery multi‐image T1 measurement sequences is described and demonstrated. This method is less sensitive to errors from eddy currents than the conventional full phase correction schemes and does not involve an increase in measurement time as it requires no additional scans. © 1991 Academic Press.

## Abstract A pulse sequence is presented which allows one to perform an inversion–recovery experiment for __T__~1~ determination on quadrupolar nuclei in the presence of acoustic ringing. The sequence is based on a modification of the reference baseline subtraction −90° pulse sequence. Some exampl
## Abstract An ECG‐triggered, two‐sequence MRI technique is proposed for the precise measurement of proton T~1~ relaxation times of the human myocardium at a field strength of 0.5 T. The combination of an inversion recovery (IR) sequence and a spin echo (SE) sequence is not new. It is, however, rar
