Synthetic MP-RAGE anatomies were calculated from
quantitative parameter maps (T1, PD, and RF coil bias)
and the influence of these parameters on MP-RAGE image
contrasts is discussed. Acquired and synthetic data are
analyzed for SNR, CNR, and optical contrasts. In
contrast to conventional anatomies with mixed contrasts,
purely T1-weighted synthetic anatomies show
significantly higher optical contrasts and improved
visibility of tumor and edema in patients with high
grade glioma.
