Abstract
We aimed to evaluate the accuracy and repeatability of the T1, T2*, and proton density (PD) values obtained by quantitative parameter mapping (QPM) using the ISMRM/NIST MRI system phantom and compared them with computer simulations. We compared the relaxation times and PD obtained through QPM with the reference values of the ISMRM/NIST MRI system phantom and conventional methods. Furthermore, we evaluated the presence or absence of influences other than noise in T1 and T2* values obtained by QPM by comparing the obtained coefficient of variation (CV) with simulation results. The T1, T2*, and PD values by QPM showed a strong correlation with the measured values and the referenced values. The simulated CVs of QPM calculated for each sphere showed similar trends to those of the actual scans.
期刊介绍：
The purpose of the journal Radiological Physics and Technology is to provide a forum for sharing new knowledge related to research and development in radiological science and technology, including medical physics and radiological technology in diagnostic radiology, nuclear medicine, and radiation therapy among many other radiological disciplines, as well as to contribute to progress and improvement in medical practice and patient health care.
