Phase sensitive inversion recovery sequence. By using a phase sensitive reconstruction, the sign of magnetisation is reflected in the displayed signal intensity. The signal intensity is mapped onto a grey scale showing values of zero at the centre of the grey scale, positive values as higher pixel intensities (towards white) and negative values as lower pixel intensities (towards black). Using this method, the effect of a small error in the choice of optimal TI is reduced. The normal myocardial signal can be suppressed by careful windowing of greyscale.
