SIMULTANEOUS AND DYNAMIC DETERMINATION OF LONGITUDINAL AND TRANSVERSAL RELAXATION TIMES OF A NUCLEAR SPIN SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to a magnetic resonance imaging method for simultaneous and dynamic determination of a longitudinal relaxation time T1 and a transversal relaxation time T2 of the nuclear spin system of an object, in the context of DCE or DSE MRI. In this respect, the invention makes use of a steady-state gradient echo pulse sequence comprising an EPI readout module.
