Synopsis

Quantitative MRI still struggles to be used in clinical practice due to long acquisition times. We introduce EPIFANI, an ultrafast B1-corrected T1 mapping technique which uses EPI images acquired in two successive repetition times and a parametric map fit used in VAFI. Both a single-shot and a multi-shot version of EPIFANI were tested on phantoms and in vivo and report accurate T1 values.
