From: Fast and Quantitative T1ρ-weighted Dynamic Glucose Enhanced MRI
Schema of the patient examination protocol at 7T (a) including the T1ρ-w DGE-MRI part (b). The DGE-MRI part consists of 178 T1ρ-w image acquisition of which 18 were performed before the start of glucose injection at t = 0 s. (c) Detailed schema of an individual T1ρ-w acquisition consisting of an adiabatic spin-lock preparation, a conventional gradient echo MRI readout and a recovery time. A single T1ρ-w acquisition took about 7 seconds resulting from 66 ms spin-lock preparation time (TSL = 50 ms, tadia = 8 ms), an MRI readout time of about 2.5 s and a recovery time of 4 s.
