6-1.5T MAGNETS, DIFFERING GRADIENTS
I assume that you mean a t2 fat suppressed sequence. Differing gradient strengths have only an indirect effect on these images. The fat saturation sequences require additional pulses which take time to execute; stronger gradient systems can execute these pulses faster.

If you see different results, it can be caused by a number of factors; if you can describe the differences, that would be helpful. Generally speaking, the quality of the magnet homogeneity makes a big difference. If the small FOV scans (wrist) look different from magnet to magnet, that's probably not the cause.

You should ask your MRI applications specialist about this, and pay attention to the TE and bandwidth. Are the FOV and number of steps the same?

6-1.5T MAGNETS, DIFFERING GRADIENTS
What parameter, if any, can compensate between magnets of equal field strength but very different gradient strengths? A T2 FAT sequence on one magnet can look very different on another magnet using same parameters.

T1&T2 WAIGHTED MEANING ?
All MRI images have contrast (the bright and the dark) that is based on properties of the tissue that's being imaged. In MRI (unlike, for example, CT) those images are based on a combination of several physical properties. So to some extent ALL MRI images are based partly on property A, property B, etc.

The tissue properties that are referred to include proton density (how many hydrogen nuclei are in a given area), motion, and two other properties that are called T1 and T2. These are properties that can be seen onloy by using the MRI instrument, much as without a microscope one cannot see inside a cell.

A T1 weighted image is one in which the differences between T1 properties of the various tissues are the predominant reason why some parts of the image are bright and others are not as bright.

This is medically useful because, since T1 and T2 are distinct properties, diseased tissue may show up different than normal tissue on either the T1 weighted scan or the T2.

cervicla axial image t2 and t2*
T2* is fine to scan the intervertebral discs. T2 is the better choice to show small spinal cord lesions like MS plaques. The echo time of a T2* sequence may be not long enough to give a good differentiation between the pathology and surrounding tissue.rnDifferent 'Multi Echo Data Image Combination' (MEDIC) techniques have been developed to enhance contrast and pathology detection, if available on the scanner this type of sequence is maybe also a good choice, but due to longer scan times and artifact problems it is best for axial slices.rn

T1 and T2 of mineral oil at 3T
I'm also interested in this information.

Better yet, there must be a institutional site somewhere with T1 and T2 values for various substances. Anyone have a suggestion?
