What Does DESPOT Stand For?
DESPOT stands for Driven Equilibrium Single Pulse Observation Of T1
DESPOT, or Driven Equilibrium Single Pulse Observation Of T1, is an advanced imaging technique employed in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that enhances the measurement of longitudinal relaxation time (T1) in tissue. By utilizing a specific pulse sequence that drives the system toward equilibrium, DESPOT efficiently captures high-resolution images while minimizing the effects of noise and T1 variability. This method is particularly valuable in clinical applications for assessing tissue properties and improving diagnostic accuracy.
