Abstract

BACKGROUND: Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging provides robust biomarkers in clinics. Nevertheless, the lengthy scan time reduces imaging throughput and increases the susceptibility of imaging results to motion. In this context, a single-shot T mapping method based on multiple overlapping-echo detachment (MOLED) planar imaging was presented, but the relatively small echo time range limits its accuracy, especially in tissues with large T .
