Abstract
A method for producing an MRI image includes the steps of acquiring lines of a volume under analysis using a steady-state gradient echo sequence in successive repetition times (TR); and applying an inhomogeneous magnetization transfer (ihMT) pre-saturation module (T) in each repetition time. The duration of the repetition times is greater than 20 milliseconds.
