White matter T₁values have been reported to range from 699ms-1735ms¹. The recently introduced Controlled Saturation Magnetization Transfer (CSMT)² qMRI approach suggests this might be due to MT effects. In this work employ the CSMT framework on 3 major MR manufacturers and demonstrate it allows a decrease in variability of T₁/T₂ estimation both in phantom and in-vivo.
