The purpose of this paper was to develop and evaluate a fast inversion recovery (FIR) technique for T1-weighted MR imaging of contrast-enhancing brain pathology. The FIR technique was developed, capable of imaging 24 sections in approximately 7 minutes using two echoes per repetition and an alternat

Abstract
TOMROP is a multiple readout single inversion‐recovery sequence which may potentially allow the measurement of multi‐exponential T~1~ recoveries in vivo by NMR imaging. It is shown that several important modifications must be made to this sequence to permit T~1~ to be measured accurately and reliably. With these modifications it is possible to measure T~1~ with a mean systematic error of ‐1.5% (‐0.3% for samples with T~1~ > 300 ms), a mean accuracy of 3.1% (2.1% for samples with T~1~ > 300 ms) and a mean repeatability of 1.4% (1.4% for samples with T~1~ > 300 ms), using data collected in 6.4 min from sixteen 128 × 128 matrix images.
