Synopsis

We showcase high SNR T1 maps over a range of low field strengths on a stroke patient imaged using a field-cycling imaging scanner (FCI), an MR system capable of varying B0 over 2 orders of magnitude. Images from this scanner are denoised using Random Matrix Theory (RMT), leveraging the redundancy over multiple inversion times and field strengths to increase the baseline SNR by 3-fold. Following RMT denoising, we observe the T1 dispersion effect indicating a deviation of R1 frequency dependence from the BPP theory.
