The double-angle method (DAM) is commonly used as a reference standard in radiofrequency field (B 1) mapping studies. This study explored two aspects of DAM: (i) use of small flip angle pairs to reduce the repetition time (TR) needed for adequate longitudinal relaxation (T 1); and (ii) the effect of using different flip angle ratios for B 1 mapping. Results of phantom studies show that B 1 correction using small flip angle pairs ≤ 60° with TR = 5000 ms can allow for accurate estimation of T 1 up to about 1500 ms; and that increasing the ratio of the two flip angles used for B 1 correction resulted in more accurate estimation of T 1. These modifications allow 3-dimensional (3D) B 1 mapping to be consistently performed with the same 3D spoiled gradient echo sequence used for T 1 mapping in dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI.

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...
