B1 inhomogeneity effects on spin density and T1 contrast in MRI

Description

An analysis of the effect of B1 inhomogeneity on spin density and T1 contrasted images is here given. Distorsions both in saturation recovery and inversion recovery sequences are found. The impact of these distorsion on in vivo spectroscopy, where quantitative data are required, is also discussed. In general, these aspects are found to be reduced at shorter-time parameters of the pulse sequences
