    This study introduces a novel magnetic resonance imaging pulse sequence for simultaneously measuring T1 and T2 relaxation times. This method allows for pixel-by-pixel tissue characterization, improving efficiency in MRI scans.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Biophysics
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Tissue characterization in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) typically requires multiple pulse sequences to determine T1 and T2 relaxation times.
    • Accurate measurement of T1 and T2 relaxation times is crucial for differentiating various tissue types and pathologies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel pulse sequence for the simultaneous determination of T1 and T2 relaxation times in MRI.
    • To enable pixel-by-pixel calculation of relaxation times from acquired images.
    • To analyze the impact of external errors on the accuracy of T1 and T2 measurements.

    Main Methods:

    • Development and implementation of a new MRI pulse sequence designed for simultaneous T1 and T2 determination.
    • Pixel-by-pixel analysis of acquired image data to calculate relaxation times.
