Synopsis
Quantitative assessment of T1 enhancement after intrathecal administration of Gd-contrast may remove present challenges due to image scaling varying between acquisitions. The compressed SENSE technique allow 3D-Look-Locker-TFE acquisitions with isotropic 1 mm resolution and full brain coverage to be run in clinically feasible times. A clinical example is demonstrated and a small phantom study exploring further improvements based on trade-offs between undersampling and reduced saturation effects is presented.
