Percent errors in the quantification of TSC in the central compartment of the phantom filled with saline. Concentration measurements were repeated at increasing TRs. The effect of saturation is clearly noticeable for the SD method and stronger at short TRs. Saturation corrections of SD the acquisitions using the VFA T1 map show an improvement and a reduction of the percent error below the 5% mark. TSC measurements obtained with VFA are intrinsically T1 corrected and are in agreement with values obtained from a SD acquisition with no saturation effects (TR = 300 ms).
