For a 1.5T MRI system the TR value should be set between 400-700ms to achieve a T1 weighted image. The image you just produced with an 800ms TR looks more like a proton density image than a T1 image. (You used a short TE). Which of the following would you do to correct the image produced to show the T1 properties of the tissue?

After producing an MR image you question an area that is black on the image. When reviewing a T1 weighted image, the same structure is also black. Which of the following best represents the type of tissue you are viewing?
