How stable is quantitative MRI? – Assessment of intra- and inter-scanner-model reproducibility using identical acquisition sequences and data analysis programs

Background: Quantitative MRI (qMRI) techniques allow assessing cerebral tissue properties. However, previous studies on the accuracy of quantitative T1 and T2 mapping reported a scanner model bias of up to 10% for T1 and up to 23% for T2. Such differences would render multi-centre qMRI studies diffi...
