T1-weighting in Steady-State FLASH MRI-Diffusion Is Not Only Supportive but Mandatory for the Contrast.

PURPOSE: FLASH imaging is widely assumed to produce a T1-weighted steady-state contrast using RF- and gradient-spoiling. We observed substantial overestimation of CSF signals in simulations, when diffusion was neglected and realistic proton density was applied. This work inves...
