✦ Synopsis

Multi-shot echo-planar ¯uid-attenuated inversion-recovery (EPI-Flair) was compared with spin-echo T1-weighted (SE-T1W), fast SE T2weighted (FSE-T2W), and fast Flair (F-Flair) in imaging brain tumors. In 32 patients with various different brain tumors, three reviewers independently evaluated image quality. Two reviewers evaluated the image quality of precontrast EPI-Flair to be signi®cantly better than that of precontrast SE-T1W. Two reviewers evaluated the image quality of postcontrast EPI-Flair as superior to that of postcontrast SE-T1W. Artifacts on postcontrast EPI-Flair were signi®cantly more prominent than those on postcontrast F-Flair.

## 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
