Abstract
In a method and apparatus for performing magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for generating multiple T1 maps of separate regions of interest of a subject along a first spatial axis, multiple MR pulse sequences are generated, each MR pulse sequence being for imaging a respective one of the separate regions of interest of the subject. In order to generate each of the plurality of MR pulse sequences, a spatially selective preparation pulse is generated exciting the region of interest of the subject and a number of imaging sequences that follow the application of the spatially selective preparation pulse are generated. MR imaging data are acquired during the generation of the multiple imaging sequences. The multiple MR pulse sequences are generated during a period not exceeding 30 seconds.
