Use of high resolution Synthetic MRI for multicontrast imaging and quantitative evaluation of hippocampus at 3 Tesla in under 4 minutes. The hippocampus is probably one of the most scrutinized regions of the brain, given its unique neural architecture and diverse range of functions. Synthetic MRI enables the acquisition of multiple image contrasts in a single acquisition, including T1, T2, Inversion Recovery (e.g., DIR, PSIR, FLAIR, etc.), and PD contrasts. Also a big advantage is the generation of generates T1, T2, PD, R1, R2 parametric maps that could be used for further quantitative analysis of MR data for the in-depth evaluation of a wide range of pathologies.
