Inversion‐recovery echo‐planar imaging (ir‐epi) at 0.5 T

Abstract
Echo-planar imaging is used in combination with a spin preparation phase to produce a T1-weighted image. The small additional time penalty in this procedure does not detract significantly from the ultrahigh-speed imaging capability of EPI, allowing a rapid real-time optimization of tissue parameters in the image display. Results obtained on a head demonstrate this technique. © 1990 Academic Press, Inc.
