Synopsis

Here we tested the boundaries of the speed and precision of phase MREPT in brain using balanced FFE. Baseline maps with conductivity variance of < 5% could be safely accelerated with compressed SENSE 6 without sacrifice of precision, and scans acquired as quickly as 1.89 s. Precision could be further improved by whole head B₁ mapping. MREPT mapping should be conducted task free for best results.
