FIG 8. Same axial section position of a TIR (TR, 7670 ms; TE, 68 ms; TI, 300; ETL, 15; matrix, 448 x 224; section thickness, 4.5 mm; bandwidth, 130 Hz/pixel; flip angle, 150°) and T1 sequence (magnetization-preparation rapid gradient echo TR, 1880 ms; TE, 3.7 ms; matrix, 256 x 230; FOV, 256 x 256 mm2; section thickness, 5 mm, reconstructed from 1.0 mm primarily; bandwidth, 160 Hz/pixel; flip angle, 8°) after contrast agent in a patient with a contrast-enhancing lesion. Note the absent contrast enhancement in the TIR image (white arrows in the T1 image).
