dosma.scan_sequences.Mapss(dicom_path=None, load_path=None, **kwargs)[source]¶ MAPSS MRI sequence.
Magnetization‐prepared angle‐modulated partitioned k‐space spoiled gradient echo snapshots (3D MAPSS) is a spoiled gradient (SPGR) sequence that reduce specific absorption rate (SAR), increase SNR, and reduce the extent of retrospective correction of contaminating T1 effects.
The MAPSS sequence can be used to estimate both T1𝜌 and T2 quantitative values. MAPSS scans must also be intra-registered to ensure alignment between all volumes acquired at different echos and spin-lock times. Intra-registration is performed automatically upon construction. \(T_2\) and :T_{1rho} fitting is also supported.
