Quantitative T2 mapping

Research summary

Our technical work on quantitative T₂ mapping focuses on the following directions:

• Development of T₂ mapping techniques which are robust to B₁ and B₀ inhomogeneities.
• Development of water T₂ mapping techniques minimally affected by the presence of fat in tissues with significant fat fraction.
