Abdominal T1 relaxation times at 7T
In this study, we quantified the T<sub>1</sub> relaxation times at 7T for key abdominal organs and tissues, including the liver, kidney, spleen, and skeletal paraspinal muscle. To achieve this, pTx was applied to mitigate B<sub>1</sub><sup>+</sup> dropouts in the target regions. The B<sub>1</sub><sup>+</sup> insensitive snapshot gradient-echo inversion recovery method was utilized to acquire accurate and reproducible T<sub>1</sub> maps.
