Variations in the intrinsic T-1 and T-2 relaxation times have been implicated in numerous neurologic conditions. Unfortunately, the low resolution and long imaging time associated with conventional methods have prevented T-1 and T-2 mapping from becoming part of routine clinical evaluation. In this study, the clinical applicability of the DESPOT1 and DESPOT2 imaging methods for high-resolution, whole-brain, T-1 and T-2 mapping was investigated. In vivo, 1-mm(3) isotropic whole-brain T-1 and T-2 maps of six healthy volunteers were acquired at 1.5 T with an imaging time of
