Abstract:
An image postprocessing technique that is based on the relaxation properties of tissues and that can produce MR images with increased contrast is proposed. The technique involves no a priori assumptions concerning the form of the relaxation decay. An arbitrary number of postprocessed images, each emphasizing a selected tissue type, is obtained from the original images of a multiecho acquisition. It is shown with examples that the technique allows more complete utilization of relaxation information for tissue differentiation.
