A) Schematic of the STONE sequence with water selective RF pulse. After a water selective inversion pulse 5 slices are acquired (TI₁: first Inversion time). Subsequently, the slice order is changed to sampling of all 5 heartbeats for each slice. The same experiment is repeated with TI₂. 11 images acquired for each slice. WS INV: water selective inversion pulse. B) The phantom consists of butter in Gd-doped water. The T₁ of the water with Gd is 1061 ms and butter is 50 ms.
