Fast T1 measurement of cortical bone using 3D UTE actual flip angle imaging and single‐TR acquisition (3D UTE‐AFI‐STR)

Abstract: To describe a new method for accurate T 1 measurement of cortical bone that fits the data sets of both 3D UTE actual flip angle imaging (UTE-AFI) and UTE with a single TR (UTE-STR) simultaneously (UTE-AFI-STR). Theory and Methods: To make both the constant values and longitudinal mapping functions in the signal equations for UTE-AFI and UTE-STR identical, the same RF pulses and flip angles were used. Therefore, there were three unknowns in the three equations. This was sufficient to fit the data. Numerical sim… Show more

“…From Eq. [14] and Figures 9,12 , it is possible to calculate synthetic dSIR and drSIR images from T 1 maps produced from other sources such as MP2RAGE, MR fingerprinting and actual flip angle-ultrashort TE (UTE) ( 29 ). These provide flexibility for targeting and generating contrast using different TIs.…”

“…It is also possible to synthetically create narrower mD images from wider mD images. The T 1 maps may be produced by MR fingerprinting and other methods, such as Actual Flip Angle imaging [27], which do not involve an IR sequence so that the more general term T 1 -bipolar filter (T 1 -BLAIR) imaging may be preferred to describe imaging utilizing a T 1 -bipolar filter. The term includes direct acquisitions (such as with dSIR) as well as synthetic imaging utilizing T 1 maps generated in different ways.…”
