Gadolinium concentration, T1 values and inversion time (TI) used to null the signal in the IR-prepared image for each phantom vial

Gd [mMol]	T1 [ms]	TI [ms]
0.0 (H20)	2883	–
0.1	1259	630
0.3	587	395
0.5	384	240
0.7	279	145
0.9	217	130
1	198	130

TI optimization was not performed to null the vial with 0.0 mMol of gadolinium concentration
