MP2RAGE for deep gray matter measurement of the brain: A comparative study with MPRAGE

To compare magnetization‐prepared two rapid acquisition gradient echoes (MP2RAGE) imaging with conventional MPRAGE imaging for deep gray matter (GM) segmentation, reproducibility, contrast ratio (CR) and contrast‐to‐noise ratio (CNR), and to evaluate reproducibility of T1 maps derived from MP2RAGE.
