Application of multi-contrast quantitative MR imaging in central nervous system
Multi-contrast quantitative MRI is one of the most popular MRI techniques who have been made many advances in the research of neuroimaging,mainly including the imagings based on magnetic resonance image compilation(MAGiC)sequence,multiple parametric(MTP)synthetic sequence and strategically acquired gradient echo(STAGE)sequence,etc.They can obtain multiple contrast and quantitative images in a single scan,and the scanning time is significantly shorter than that of the conventional MRI.At the same time,as a three-dimensional sequence,MTP synthetic sequence integrates a variety of current advanced technologies to ensure high signal-to-noise ratio and high resolution of the images.This article reviews the principle and research progress in the central nervous system,advantages and limitations of multi-contrast quantitative MRI,aiming to provide reference for interested scholars and promote its further research and clinical application.
