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: Flip angle <90º TR – repetition time, typically > 10 ms TE – echo time, typically > 2 ms Signal and contrast also depend … 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 … More Gradient echo signal and contrast calculator
