## Abstract The recently introduced method of shaping the transient signal evolution in magnetization‐prepared gradient‐echo (MP‐GRE) imaging with variable flip angles has been applied to two‐dimensional (2D) MP‐GRE imaging of the abdomen. The technique was analyzed by using theoretical models and
Delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI of cartilage is a technique, which involves T(1) mapping to identify changes in the structural integrity of cartilage associated with osteoarthritis. Currently, the gold standard is 2D inversion recovery turbo spin echo, which suffers from long acquisition times and l
## Abstract ## Purpose: To evaluate the repeatability of the dGEMRIC (delayed gadolinium enhanced MRI of cartilage) method in osteoarthritis‐prone knee joints for three different T1 quantification techniques: two‐dimensional inversion recovery (2D‐IR), three‐dimensional Look‐Locker (3D‐LL), and th
## Abstract A new method has been developed for fast image‐based measurements of the transmitted radiofrequency (RF) field. The method employs an actual flip‐angle imaging (AFI) pulse sequence that consists of two identical RF pulses followed by two delays of different duration (TR~1~ < TR~2~). Aft
