We propose an integrated and efficient solution to clinical brain MRI in a single 10min sequence, producing co-registered, quantitative PD, T1, T2, T1ρ, T2*, QSM, and ΔB0 plus synthetic weighted images including PDw, T1w, T2w, T2*w, FLAIR, SWI, true-SWI, mIP, and true-SWI mIP simultaneously.
Figure 2. Axial PD, T1, T2, T1ρ, T2*, QSM, and ∆B0 maps of three slices using the proposed method.
Figure 4. Synthetic PDw, T1w, T2w, T2*w, FLAIR, SWI, tSWI of three axial slices corresponding to Figure 2, as well as mIP and tmIP calculated from SWI and tSWI respectively using 16 axial slices. Contrast-weighted images are synthesized with good image quality, image contrasts, and venous structures.
