A 2D multislice spin-lock (MS-SL) MR pulse sequence is presented for rapid volumetric T-1p-weighted imaging. Image quality is compared with T-1p-weighted data collected using a single-slice (SS) SL sequence and T-2-weighted data from a standard MS spin-echo (SE) sequence. Saturation of longitudinal magnetization by the application of nonselective SL pulses is experimentally measured and theoretically modeled as T-2p decay. The saturation data is used to correct the image data as a function of the SL pulse duration to make quantitative measurements of TIP. Measurements of T-1p using the saturation-corrected MS-SL data are nearly identical to those measured using an SS-SL sequence. The MS-SL sequence produces quantitative T-1p maps of an entire sample volume with the high-SNR advantages conferred by SE-based sequences. (C) 2004 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
