In vivo quantitative MRI: T1 and T2 measurements of the human brain at 0.064  T

Discussion\({T}_{1}\) and\({T}_{2}\) times for brain tissue were measured at 0.064  T. Test samples demonstrated accuracy in WM and GM ranges of values but underestimated long\({T}_{2}\) in the CSF range. This work contributes to measuring quantitative MRI properties of the human body at a range of field strengths.
