MR Imaging Using Stimulated Echoes (STEAM)
Affiliations
The introduction of STEAM (stimulated echo acquisition mode) magnetic resonance (MR) sequences provides access to a variety of MR parameters. T1-weighted and calculated T1 proton MR images of the head of healthy volunteers and a patient with an astrocytoma are presented. MR examinations were performed with a 2.0-T whole-body system. The STEAM T1 method can be used to characterize multiexponential relaxation behavior, to evaluate T1 relaxation times, and to improve the T1 contrast within MR images. Both the measuring time and the spatial resolution are the same as for a conventional image.
