## Abstract Many MR imaging systems are limited in their ability to successfully display inversion‐recovery images. The reason is that part of the contrast is encoded as phase differences between pixels, whereas in the more commonly used spin‐echo pulse sequence all the information is contained in

✦ Synopsis
Modulus reconstruction of inversion-recovery images causes a pixel value to be assigned the absolute magnitude of the signal amplitude. Consequently, contrast between tissues is reduced if they have amplitudes of opposite sign. When contrast is reduced between adjacent tissues, dark line artifacts are created at the tissue boundaries. The artifacts may enable tissues to be spatially distinguished even if there is no contrast between them. However, the artifacts may lead to misinterpretation of the image since they may be difficult to distinguish from real anatomical structures.

## Abstract An inversion recovery (IR) artifact was used to delineate the blood/wall boundary in left ventricles. The artifact consisted of a hypointensity signal in pixels located at the boundary of two contiguous tissues with different T~1~ relaxation times. The feasibility of measuring the eject
We obtained T1-weighted images in the abdominal region using the partial angle inversion recovery fast spin echo (PAIR-FSE) with the respiratory triggering (RT) method and compared the image quality with that of conventional SE (TR/TE 500/10 msec) with the partial angle inversion recovery (PEAR) met
