(Top left) images acquired with different TEs using a TSE sequence. (Top right) A T2 map reconstructed from images acquired with 10 different TEs. (Bottom left) A plot of binned T2 times; 3 Gaussian curves are fit to the data; the sum of the 3 curves is shown in blue. (Bottom right) A segmented map of the brain with the color corresponding to the curves of the Gaussian fit: red corresponds to lipid, orange to gray, and white matter (no distinction is possible) and green to incorrect fitting of the T2 of CSF.
