Feasibility
of high-resolution quantitative MRI was investigated using a novel variable
flip angle and RF spoiling phase angle approach. Quantification using single-
and two-compartment models was demonstrated in phantom and knee imaging
studies.

tissue maps obtained with the proposed method.

T1 and T2 maps using the proposed approach and measured average values inside
the T1 and T2 spheres (points). The dashed line represents identity with
respect to the known phantom values.
