B1-insensitive T2 mapping of healthy thigh muscles using a T2-prepared 3D TSE sequence.

PURPOSE:To propose a T2-prepared 3D turbo spin echo (T2prep 3D TSE) sequence for B1-insensitive skeletal muscle T2 mapping and compare its performance with 2D and 3D multi-echo spin echo (MESE) for T2 mapping in thigh muscles of healthy subjects. METHODS:The performance of 2D MESE, 3D MESE and the p...
