✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Single shot (SS) rapid acquisition with relaxation enhancement (RARE) and half Fourier SS‐RARE (HFSS‐RARE, HASTE, or SS‐FSE) sequences allow ultrafast imaging acquisition and generate high imaging quality. Images can be acquired within a very short time, without artifacts from physiologic motion. They are widely applied in the abdominal MRI. Clinical application of the ultrafast SS‐RARE imaging techniques provide not only improved temporal resolution but better spatial resolution, higher SNR, and higher tissue contrast. Imaging parameters must be optimized for different MR scanners to obtain diagnostic images.

## Abstract Ultrafast MRI technique has become available with the introduction of new generation MR scanners for abdominal imaging. However, there is no consensus about the optimal imaging acquisition at the present time. Because single shot echo planar imaging (EPI) technique is based on high tech

So that we might evaluate the ultrafast half-Fourier single-shot turbo spin-echo (HASTE) sequence in T2-weighted MRI of the female pelvis and compare it with the turbo spin-echo (TSE) sequence, we prospectively studied 60 consecutive females with suspected abnormalities of the pelvis. For all MR exa

Three-dimensional (3Dl fast spin-echo (FSE) imaging can produce contiguous thin sections for high-quality multiplanar reconstructions. Such reformatted images may be useful in the evaluation of three-dimensionally complex. curvilinear anatomic structures such as the hippocampus. The authors describe

## Abstract The objective of this study was to compare the accuracy of T2‐weighted fast‐spin‐echo (FSE) and intermediate‐weighted spin‐echo (SE) MR imaging in the detection of meniscal tears. Seventy‐six patients (152 menisci) who had arthroscopic surgery after MR imaging of the knee were studied.
