Gradient echo signal and contrast

December 21, 2018

Gradient echo (GE, GRE, FLASH, SPGR, T1-FFE, FE) is one of the hardest elements of MRI to understand. Image signal and contrast in spoiled gradient echo depends upon three user-selected parameters: For any given tissue T1 and scanner TR there is a flip angle, the Ernst angle, that gives the maximum signal for that tissue. … More Gradient echo signal and contrast

First choose tissue T1 and T2 values.Then select your scanning TR, TE  and flip angle. You can also set a field inhomogeneity factor. The calculator uses an estimated value of T2* based upon this and the tissue T2.The graph shows the signal intensity (max = 1) for both tissues, the contrast and the relative contrast … More Gradient echo signal and contrast calculator
