t1-weighted MRI

T1-weighted MRI is a type of imaging that highlights differences in the tissue properties based on how quickly they return to their normal state after a magnetic pulse. It makes fat-containing tissues, like the brain's white matter, appear bright, while fluid-filled areas, such as cerebrospinal fluid, look dark. This imaging technique provides clear structural details of the body's internal organs and tissues, making it useful for identifying abnormalities, assessing anatomy, and diagnosing conditions. T1-weighted images are often used in combination with other MRI sequences for comprehensive evaluation.
