A model‐based framework for correcting inhomogeneity effects in magnetization transfer saturation and inhomogeneous magnetization transfer saturation maps

Abstract

The proposed correction decreases the dependence of MT_sat on <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:msubsup><mml:mi>B</mml:mi><mml:mn>1</mml:mn><mml:mo>+</mml:mo></mml:msubsup></mml:math> inhomogeneities. Furthermore, this flexible framework permits the use of different saturation protocols, making it useful for correcting <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:msubsup><mml:mi>B</mml:mi><mml:mn>1</mml:mn><mml:mo>+</mml:mo></mml:msubsup></mml:math> inhomogeneities in ihMT.
