### Estimate T1
This job will estimate T1map and R1map using sequence parameters and the UNI image.

#### Comments on the parameters
| Parameter name | Description | dcm2niix json sidecar field | on Siemens scanners |
|--------------------------------|---------------------------------------|-------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------|
| UNI image | input T1 weighted | x | this image has the suffix `\_UNI_image` |
| Magnetic field strength B0 (T) | in Tesla (T) | MagneticFieldStrength | x |
| MR2RAGE TR (s) | Repetition time (TR) of the MP2RAGE | RepetitionTime | TR |
| EchoSpacing (s) | in seconds (s), TR of the GRE readout | **does not exist** | tab Sequence > Part 1 > Echos pacing |
| Inversin Times (s) | in seconds (s), such as `[TI1 TI2]` | InversionTime | TI |
| Flip Angles (°) | in degree (°), such as `[FA1 FA2]` | FlipAngle | Flip angle |
| Number of slices per slab | Number of slices per slab | **does not exist** | Slices per slab |
| PartialFourierInSlice | The value range is 0 to 1 | PartialFourier | **SlicePartialFourier**, not PhasePartialFourier <br> expressed as a fraction such as 8/8, 7/8, ... |
| Fat saturation pulse | x | **does not exist** | tab Contrast > Fat Sat <br> the option can be "nonce, "water excitation normal", "water excitation fast" |
