The quality of MWF maps obtained with the standard
approach, were compared with results obtained from
measured and scaled flip angle maps in a cohort of 10
healthy young volunteers. Two scaling approaches were
used; an expected 180 degree pulse and scaling to the
first pass fitted FA. The two-step procedure was found
to be a viable approach to improve the MWF maps, without
a too high cost in terms of goodness-of-fit or
distinction between components.
