T1 weighted: T1: Measuring spin–lattice relaxation by using a short repetition time (TR) and echo time (TE). Lower signal for more water content, [4] as in edema, tumor, infarction, inflammation, infection, hyperacute or chronic hemorrhage. [5] High signal for fat [4] [5] High signal for paramagnetic substances, such as MRI contrast agents [5]

T2*-weighted imaging of the brain 26 weeks after subarachnoid hemorrhage, showing hemosiderin deposits as hypointense areas. [1] T 2 *-weighted imaging is an MRI sequence to quantify observable or effective T 2 (T2* or "T2-star"). In this sequence, hemorrhages and hemosiderin deposits become hypointense. [2]
At the end, images are "weighted" by the diffusion process: In those diffusion-weighted images (DWI) the signal is more attenuated the faster the diffusion and the larger the b factor is. However, those diffusion-weighted images are still also sensitive to T1 and T2 relaxivity contrast, which can sometimes be confusing.
T1 weighted: T1: Measuring spin–lattice relaxation by using a short repetition time (TR) and echo time (TE). Lower signal for more water content, [13] as in edema, tumor, infarction, inflammation, infection, hyperacute or chronic hemorrhage.

This axial T2-weighted (CSF white) MR scan shows a normal brain at the level of the lateral ventricles. The record for the highest spatial resolution of a whole intact brain (postmortem) is 100 microns, from Massachusetts General Hospital. The data was published in Scientific Data on 30 October 2019.

The signal equation is a formula for calculating the signal intensity, i.e. the numerical value, of an image pixel. The signal intensity S in a pixel depends on the tissue properties T1, T2 and PD of the corresponding voxel, as well as the echo time TE and repetition time TR. [12] The equation for synthesizing a fast spin-echo (FSE) image is: [13]
A T 1 weighted image of the head.. Magnetic resonance imaging uses the resonance of the protons to generate images. Protons are excited by a radio frequency pulse at an appropriate frequency (Larmor frequency) and then the excess energy is released in the form of a minuscule amount of heat to the surroundings as the spins return to their thermal equilibrium.
