Synopsis

Previous work has shown an inherent bias in quantitative T1 values for current standard MRF techniques as compared to gold standard methods. In our study we show how magnetisation transfer effects are a component of this bias and that the introduction of off-resonance pulses within an MRF sequence may mitigate these effects.
