To develop in vivo MR oximetry based on T2-prepared bSSFP constant refocusing-pulse interval ($$$\tau_{180}$$$) T2-preparation, three-parameter signal fitting for T2 extraction and magnetization reset for shortened pulse sequence cycle were implemented and evaluated against a multi-spin echo sequence using static and flowing MnCl2 solutions with known T2 values. The whole-blood T2 was also quantified to investigate the effect of varying . The phantom results support three-parameter fitting, and <5% error incurred in T2 quantification with shortened T2-preparation cycle and presence of constant flow. Approximately 10% longer whole-blood T2 was observed with constant relative to varying .
