Abstract
A rapid method of generating T~1~ images by means of an inversion pulse followed by a fast low‐angle imaging experiment is presented. The T~1~ contrast is manipulated by a temporal reordering of the phase‐encoding gradient, resulting in an almost completely free choice of T~1~ contrast, without any extra restriction on the size of the data acquisition matrix. The intrinsic rapidity of the sequence renders it insensitive to motion artifacts and lends itself to multipoint T~1~ calculations. The method is particularly well suited to high‐field imaging. © 1990 Academic Press, Inc.
