EPI FLAIR images have lower
tissue contrast than conventional TSE images due to the absence of significant magnetization
transfer (MT) effects, which limits their acceptability to radiologists and
clinicians. In this study, we developed an MT-prepared EPI FLAIR acquisition,
and determined the optimal parameters of the MT-preparation module to match the
tissue contrast of clinical reference TSE FLAIR images. This approach may
facilitate clinical adoption of EPI FLAIR images for a variety of applications,
including those where ultrafast imaging is desired (e.g., acute stroke, motion prone patients, pediatrics).
