Figure 5

T1ρ-weighted images of a water (bottom) and fat (top) phantom. Off-resonance fat protons produce artifacts in conventional and B1 insensitive T1ρ-weighted images, but are absent in ΔB0 insensitive methods. Contrast between water and fat varies in each of the four pulse sequences and is attributed to the off-resonance relaxation of fat spins.
