MPRAGE

An inversion, an inversion time, and then a spoiled gradient-echo train that acquires one partition. The T1 contrast is determined by the inversion-recovery time at which the central k-space views are acquired.

Example	Scope
3D Cartesian MPRAGE	Cartesian phase-encode lines of one partition per inversion.
3D stack-of-stars MPRAGE	Radial spokes of one partition per inversion.
3D stack-of-spirals MPRAGE	Spiral interleaves of one partition per inversion.
