Popis: Functional parameters can be measured with the help of quantitative non-proton MRI where exact relaxometry parameters are needed. Investigation of [Formula: see text] is often biased by strong partial volume (PV) effects. Hence, in this work a PV correction algorithm approach was evaluated that uses iteratively adapted [Formula: see text]-values and high-resolution structuralSimulations, a phantom study and in vivoThe conducted simulations and phantom study verified the correction performance of the algorithm. For in vivo measured [Formula: see text] values, the correction of PV effects leads to an increase in CSF and to a decrease in GM/WM (The proposed iterative algorithm for PV correction leads to more accurate [Formula: see text] values and, thus, can improve accuracy in quantitative non-proton MRI.
