Pulse sequence for HMDSO relaxometry with optional CHESS fat and water suppression (PISTOL). Magnetization preparation consists of 20 π/2 saturation pulses followed by a variable recovery time τ. The π/2 pulse is frequency selective for the HMDSO resonance, whereas the π pulse is slice selective. EPI readout enables T1 mapping in 3½ min.
