SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the purpose of repeating the TR (Repetition Time) 90-degree pulse in MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). It is established that modifying the TR time is essential for obtaining varying T1 relaxation times. The participants agree that while echo signals may appear to be read at the same intensity post-90-degree pulse, repeating the TR can enhance the signal-to-noise ratio by averaging multiple Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) results, leading to improved image quality.
