Synopsis

We introduce a dual flip angle T1 method based on respiratory triggered cine spoiled gradient echo acquisition. The method is used to assess the change in T1 of liver tissue between breathing medical air and 100% O2 in an animal model. Our results show small but significant decrease in T1 of liver due to hypoxia, indicating increased oxygen partial pressure in tissue.
