T2 Mapping

T2 mapping is an advanced MRI technique that measures how quickly water molecules in tissues lose their energy (dephase) after being disturbed by a magnetic pulse. This information provides detailed insights into tissue composition and health, such as detecting inflammation, tears, or degeneration in muscles and joints. T2 values are represented visually as a map, allowing doctors to precisely analyze specific areas. Overall, T2 mapping enhances diagnostic accuracy by quantifying tissue characteristics that are not visible with standard MRI images.
