Comparison of MR images for age determination; T1 weighted images (T1WI) versus T2* weighted images (T2*WI)

Abstract

This research showed that T1WI is a better sequence than T2*WI to evaluate bone fusion following FIFA protocol. It was speculated that the reason for this is that T1WI has higher tissue contrast resolution and enables clearer images of the epiphyseal fusion than T2*WI and the grading system by T1WI was not suitable for T2*WI.
