Figure 7.
Line profile through image 5 (of 16 slices) for a NaCl/agar phantom obtained from three SPGR sequences B1, B2 and B3 with a constant flip angle train. Increased TR from B1 (TR=20ms) to B3 (TR = 40ms) does not result in increased blurring from T2 effects. Line profile was obtained by taking the mean of 20 line profiles (to reduce noise variation) around the center of the image.
