Project Description
Objective
- Estimate effective T1 from multi-spectral FLASH MRI scans with different flip angles
Approach, Plan
- Create a Slicer module for T1 mapping for multiple flip angles using Python script
- Run Python script and Freesurfer code on QIBA T1 phantom
- Test the Slicer module on MGH Brain Tumor MR Data with multiple flip angles
Progress
- Comparing the results using Python with Freesurfer and ground truth of T1
- T1 mapping results on QIBA data using Slicer+Python are almost identical to the results using Freesurfer and comparable with the ground truth
