Quantitative characterization of MT, R1, R2*, and PD may aid in providing more consistent readings of alterations in temporal lobe epilepsy. As part of a multi-centric study we have set up a hMRI protocol for use at 3T across two manufactures of MR scanners. Because of differences in MT pulses and SAR calculations, near matching was achieved only through use of commercial or research options. Initial results from one scanner show excellent reproducibility within and between subjects for MT and R1. A cross-scanner evaluation is in course.
