Figure 13.
Subtracted IR (SIR) and Added IR (AIR) T1-filters. T1 is shown along the linear X axes in ms. (A) shows the TIs T1-filter (pink) and TIi T1-filter (blue), (B) shows the subtraction (STIs − STIi) IR or SIR T1-filter, and (C) shows the addition (STIs + STIi) IR or AIR T1-filter. The middle Domain (mD) is the T1 values along the X axis between the vertical dashed lines. In (B), the slope of the SIR T1-filter in the mD is approximately double that of the STIs T1-filter (pink in (A)). In (C), the signal at T1 = 0 is doubled to 2.0, and the signal in the mD is reduced to approximately 0.20 in the nearly linear, slightly downward sloping central part of the AIR T1-filter (i.e., in the middle Domain, mD).
