Abstract
A technique for imaging materials with short transverse relaxation times an d prepared longitudinal magnetization is proposed. The technique is single- point ramped imaging with T-1-enhancement (SPRITE) MRI with centric k-space sampling. The effects of transient state behavior on image resolution and signal/noise are estimated, Centric sampling in the basic SPRITE sequence g ives increased signal-to-noise and permits a quantitative determination of the MR parameters associated with longitudinal spin preparation, Spin-lock and inversion recovery preparation experiments are presented.
