T1 Mapping

Introduction

T1 Mapping is an extension of 3D Slicer software that estimates effective tissue parameter maps (T1) from multi-spectral FLASH MRI scans with different flip angles. T1 mapping can be used to optimize parameters for a sequence, monitor diseased tissue, measure Ktrans in DCE-MRI and etc.

See documentation at T1 Mapping Wiki

Functionality

  • Take multi-spectral FLASH images with an arbitrary number of flip angles as input, and estimate the T1 values of the data for each voxel.
  • Read repetition time(TR), echo time(TE) and flip angles from the Dicom header directly.
  • Prostate, brain, head & neck, cervix, breast and etc.
