Module Description

T1 mapping estimates effective tissue parameter maps (T1) from multi-spectral FLASH MRI scans with different flip angles. T1 mapping can be used to optimize parameters for a sequence, monitor diseased tissue, measure Ktrans in DCE-MRI and etc.

The method and equations for Variable Flip Angle T1 Mapping are available here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3620726/pdf/nihms-423474.pdf

Use Cases

  • Take multi-spectral FLASH images with an arbitrary number of flip angles as input, and estimate the T1 values of the data for each voxel.
  • Read repetition time(TR), echo time(TE) and flip angles from the Dicom header directly.
  • Prostate, brain, head & neck, cervix, breast and etc.

  • Input
    • Input image: Multivolume node containing multiple flip angles image loaded using DICOM module
    • Model: VFA, Variable Flip Angle
    • Input mask: Segmentation of the region of interest (optional); if specified, model fitting will be performed only within the specified mask
    • Flip Angles to include: List of Flip Angles that should be used in the fitting process (optional); this parameter is used only if not empty
    • Flip Angles to exclude: List of Flip Angles that should NOT be used in the fitting process (optional); this parameter is used only if not empty
  • Output common to all models
    • Fitted volume: Multi-volume containing the fitted model sampled at the Flip Angles of the input dataset (optional)
    • Quality of fit volume: R-squared (optional)
  • VFA model output
    • T1 Map: T1 mapping result calculated at each voxel
