Abstract

Measurement of basic quantitative magnetic resonance (MR) parameters (e.g., relaxation times T1, T2*, T2 or respective rates R (1/T)) corrected for radiofrequency (RF) coil bias yields different conventional and new tissue contrasts as well as volumes for tissue segmentation. This approach also provides quantitative measures of microstructural and functional tissue changes. We herein demonstrate some prospects of quantitative MR imaging in neurological diagnostics and science.

Keywords: BOLD; T1-relaxation time; T2-relaxation time; TOLD; qMRI.
