Fast T

mapping
is of interest notably for segmentation of brain
structures and myelin imaging. Whole-brain,
high-resolution T

maps
can be obtained from 3 MP-RAGE images with carefully
selected inversion times in a clinically relevant time

effects. In this work, we validated the method for in
vivo human applications, and compared the accuracy and
blur of the 3-TI-MP method for different k-space
ordering and parallel imaging factors. Our results show
high accuracy and improved map quality from a 2D-centric
k-space ordering scheme.
