To evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of rapid in vivo and phantom measurements of T1 spin-lattice relaxation times using a TurboFLASH MRI technique.
Implemented serial TurboFLASH (Snapshot-FLASH) imaging with scan times under 4 s per experiment using centric phase encoding order on a 1.5 T scanner.
Benchmarked the technique against multipoint inversion recovery and spin-echo methods in Gd-DTPA phantoms and evaluated in vivo performance across diverse human tissues.
Phantom experiments demonstrated a maximum deviation from inversion recovery standards of 3.3% for T1 < 1100 ms and 12.1% for 1100 ms < T1 < 1700 ms.
In vivo T1 measurements in human brain matter, cerebrospinal fluid, kidney, liver, spleen, muscle, and bone marrow aligned closely with established literature reference values.
