MRI contrast enhancement by Optimal Control is a new approach to design optimal magnetization preparation. This allows to maximize the contrast between target tissues characterized by their relaxation times. Recent numerical implementations have made possible the optimization of such preparation in a steady state sequence without full recovery between each repetition. This abstract demonstrates the contrast flexibility offered by this approach when combined with a MPRAGE sequence on pelvis imaging at 3T.
