Effects of B(1) inhomogeneity correction for three-dimensional variable flip angle T(1) measurements in hip dGEMRIC at 3 T and 1.5 T.
Delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI of cartilage is a technique for studying the development of osteoarthritis using quantitative T(1) measurements. Three-dimensional variable flip angle is a promising method for performing such measurements rapidly, by using two successive spoiled gradient echo sequences with different excitation pulse flip angles. However, the three-dimensional variable flip angle m
