This study presents the application of Tissue Specific Imaging (TSI), a double inversion recovery variant that produces three single tissue type images, to the quantitative mapping of tissue T₁ values. The methodology presented, which can add value to the application of TSI, is stable over a wide range of T₁ values, up to 4500 ms for usually encountered signal-to-noise ratio values.
