✦ Synopsis
In vivo T1 measurements are usually made from images. In this paper we describe an alternative method in which data are collected from a strip instead of from an entire plane. We will compare the signal-to-noise ratios, the time to make a measurement, and the error in T1 as well as other aspects of the two methods. We have found that the strip method has less inherent signal-to-noise, but that this may be compensated for by taking measurements at more than the usual two repetition rates. The method employs a selective 180 degree pulse as well as a selective 90 degree pulse. It is shown that both pulses effectively isolate the region of interest.

Calculation of tissue TI in double spin-echo imaging (90"-T-I 80"-2T-1 SO0) using two repetition times (6, and b2) has entailed an approximation that ignores the two 180" pulses. The theoretical consequence of the simplification is to overestimate TI with a fractional error that increases with incre
