## Abstract Equal time spacing of RF pulses in the CPMG sequence imposes a constraint of equal signal read periods in spin‐echo train imaging. GRASE imaging differs by using multiple read gradients in each π‐π time interval, which are not constrained to be equal in number or duration. This addition

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
A fast multi‐section MR imaging technique is described. Gradient‐ and spin‐echo (GRASE) imaging utilizes the speed advantages of gradient refocusing while overcoming the image artifacts arising from static field inhomogeneity and chemical shift. Image contrast is determined by the T2 contrast in the Hahn spin echoes. A novel k‐space trajectory temporally modulates signals and demodulates artifacts. © 1991 Academic Press, Inc.

## Abstract It has been shown previously that a significant reduction of the acoustic noise in standard, slow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences is achieved when the gradient pulses have long sinusoidal ramps. An improvement of this method is now presented for fast gradient echo (FLASH) and
T2-weighted high-resolution gradient and fast spin echo sequences are widely used as an alternative or adjunct to contrast-enhanced T1-weighted temporal bone imaging. However, to date no systematic comparison has been presented. The purpose of this work is to identify optimal acquisition parameters
## Abstract 3D magnetization‐prepared fast gradient echo MR sequences, such as MP‐RAGE and IR‐SPGR, provide good spatial resolution and gray‐white contrast. The efficiency and image quality of these techniques can be further improved with an interleaved, recessed elliptical centric view order. It i
## Abstract Previously published fast spin‐echo (FSE) implementations of a Dixon method for water and fat separation all require multiple scans and thus a relatively long scan time. Further, the minimum echo spacing (esp), a time critical for FSE image quality and scan efficiency, often needs to be
