Incomplete Spoiling Correction for 3D T1 Mapping

Abstract

Assess the impact of incomplete spoiling and spatial saturation on T1$$ {T}_1 $$ mapping using the variable flip angle (VFA) spoiled gradient recalled echo sequence (SPGR). Develop a correction for incomplete spoiling that results in an accurate estimate of T1$$ {T}_1 $$ , essential for quantitative MRI applications.
