Keywords: Quantitative Imaging, BrainMeasurement of quantitative, tissue-specific MR properties such as water content or relaxation times using quantitative-MRI at clinical field strength (1.5T and 3T) is a well-explored topic. Established methods for water content mapping are based on the variable flip-angle (VFA) approach. However, transition to ultrahigh field strength remains challenging due to significantly increased RF field inhomogeneity. Here, we demonstrate a novel VFA method to acquire quantitative water content and relaxation times at 7T with full brain coverage and 1x1x1.5 mm resolution within 7 min. Accuracy and precision of the parametric maps is demonstrated by comparison to already reported results.
