Abstract

Determination of neurological pathology in white matter disease can be made in a semiquantitative way from T~1~‐ or T~2~‐weighted images. A higher level of quantification based on measured T~1~ or T~2~ values has been either limited to specific regions of interest or to low‐resolution maps. Higher‐resolution T~1~ maps have proved difficult to obtain due to the excessively long scan times required using conventional techniques. In this study, clinically acceptable images are obtained by using single‐shot echo planar imaging (EPI) with an acquisition scheme that maximizes signal‐to‐noise while minimizing the scan time.

Arterial spin tagging techniques have been used to image tissue perfusion in MR without contrast injection or ionizing radiation. Currently, spin tagging studies are performed primarily using single-slice imaging sequences, which are time consuming. This note reports a multislice echo-planar arteria

A rapid automated method for reconstructing echo planar imaging (EPI) data has been developed and is shown to improve image quality by suppressing the troublesome ghost artifact. The algorithm can be applied without prior knowledge obtained from either reference scans or operator intervention. It fi

The conventional stimulated-echo NMR sequence only measures the longitudinal component while discarding the transverse component, after tipping up the prepared magnetization. This transverse magnetization can be used to measure a spin echo, in addition to the stimulated echo. Two-dimensional single-
