  • Method for T1 mapping with incomplete tissue magnetization recovery
    Patent number: 10314548
    Abstract: Methods and systems for performing T1 mapping. T1 samples are obtained from an acquisition including one or more inversion groupings. The acquisition may be designed to result in incomplete tissue magnetization recovery between inversion groupings. The acquisition may be designed for the use of non-uniform, non-180° preparatory pulses. The method may also include the combined use of data from different inversion groupings. A model is used in which fit parameters are variable dependent on the inversion grouping.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 24, 2015
    Date of Patent: June 11, 2019
    Assignee: University Health Network
    Inventors: Marshall Stephen Sussman, Bernd Juergen Wintersperger, Kai-Ho Fok, Issac Yiqun Yang
