An adiabatic T2prep design based on the modified BIR-4 pulse is proposed for multicomponent T2 relaxometry of the brain at 3T. When compared to the conventional composite refocusing T2prep, our results show that the proposed BIR-4 design provides more accurate T2 weighting against increased field inhomogeneities at 3T, enabling fast and reliable whole brain myelin water mapping in 10 minutes.
