Parameter Optimization for Quantitative Signal-Concentration Mapping Using Spoiled Gradient Echo MRI

<table>Observed (SIGOBS) versus calculated (SIG) signal for a sample experimental run (SPGR TR 40 ms/TE 10 ms/FA 30°). Using this optimal pulse sequence, there is excellent concordance between observed and predicted signal. This suggests that with optimal pulse sequences, it is possible to derive an accurate signal to concentration map, at least under idealized conditions.</table>
