"T1 weighting tends to have short TE and TR times."

Line 3:40 · 'TE' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

Line 3:54 · 'TR' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

"If T1WIs did not have short TRs, then all the protons would recover their alignment with the main magnetic field and the image would be uniformly intense. Selecting a TR shorter than the tissues' recovery time allows one to differentiate them (i.e. tissue contrast)."

Line 5:171 · 'TR' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

"TR: short"

"Practical tips"

Parentheses

suggestion

"A T1WI relies upon the longitudinal relaxation of a tissue's net magnetisation vector (NMV). Basically, spins aligned in an external field (B0) are put into the transverse plane by a radiofrequency (RF) pulse. They then slide back toward the original equilibrium of B0. Not all tissues return back to equilibrium in the same amount of time, and a tissue's T1 reflects the amount of time taken for its protons' spins to realign with the main magnetic field (B0)."

Line 2:100 · Use parentheses judiciously. There are at least 3 sets in this paragraph.

Inline EG

suggestion

"T1-weighted sequences provide the best contrast for paramagnetic contrast agents (e.g. gadolinium-containing compounds)."

Line 6:92 · Consider replacing a bracketed e.g. with an inline e.g. after a comma.
