Synopsis

Keywords: YIA, Tissue Characterization, Acquisition & Analysis, Quantitative Imaging, Ultra-high field MRIDatabases of normative values from healthy tissues are needed to leverage the improved comparability and hardware independence of quantitative MRI, and thus enable patient-specific detection of abnormalities in visual interpretation. Here, we present normative atlases of T1 relaxation times in the brain at 3T (1 mm isotropic) and 7T (0.6 mm isotropic) from two large cohorts of healthy subjects. The atlases were tested in single‐subject comparisons for detection of abnormal relaxation times in patients scanned at both field strengths. The presented detection of subtle alterations not visible in conventional MRI showed the clinical potential of the method.
