In this study, a saturation recovery
fast spin echo method was developed for fast T1 mapping of mouse
kidney at a temporal resolution of ~3 min. The validity of this method was
first demonstrated in vitro on a
phantom with different concentrations of MnCl2 by comparing to the
conventional spin echo T1 mapping method and a previously validated
saturation recovery Look-Locker (SRLL) method and then in vivo on mouse kidneys at both pre- and post-MnCl2
infusion by comparing to SRLL.
