Myelin water fraction (MWF) is a good biomarker for myelin content. Traditional methods for acquiring MWF maps require long scan times. Recent work has estimated MWF from faster steady-state scans. In this work, we propose to acquire MWF maps from an optimized set of small-tip fast recovery (STFR) scans that can exploit resonance frequency differences between myelin water and the slow-relaxing water compartment.
