The phase-encoding scheme can significantly affect the quality of fast spin-echo (FSE) images because the echo amplitude is modulated as a function of the echo position in k-space. The effects of the modulation in two-dimensional FSE imaging include ghosting and blurring artifacts and resolution los

โฆ Synopsis
This paper presents a fast spin echo (FSE) imaging method that employs circular sampling of k-space. The technique has been implemented on a 2 Tesla imaging system and validated on both phantoms and living animals. Experimental studies have shown that circular sampling can produce artifact-free FSE images without the need of phase correction. Although not fully explored, preliminary results also show that circular sampling may have advantages over the conventional rectilinear FSE in signal-to-noise ratio and imaging efficiency. A major disadvantage is the increased sensitivity to off-resonance effects. The authors expect that the FSE technique with circular sampling will find its applications in magnetic resonance microscopy, neuro-functional imaging, and real-time dynamic studies.

The standard Fast Spin Echo sequence used in MR imaging relies on the CPMG condition. A consequence of this condition is that only one component of the transverse magnetization can be measured. To counter this, some phase modulation schemes (XY, MLEV . .) for the pulse train have been proposed, but
