Congratulations to Simon Weinmüller and his co-authors on their recently published article, “T1-weighting in Steady-State FLASH MRI–Diffusion Is Not Only Supportive but Mandatory for the Contrast”!
The study shows that diffusion plays a crucial role in achieving realistic T1-weighted contrast in FLASH MRI, particularly in tissues with long T2 relaxation times such as CSF. Accounting for diffusion in simulations is therefore essential for accurately modeling FLASH contrast and for developing reliable simulation-based deep learning applications.
