This work describes a segmented radial turbo-spin-echo technique (DW-rTSE) for high-resolution multislice diffusionweighted imaging and quantitative ADC mapping. Diffusionweighted images with an in-plane resolution of 700 m and almost free of bulk motion can be obtained in vivo without cardiac gatin

Abstract
Fast MR imaging methods should provide a familiar contrast behavior at a reduced scan time. The multiβspin echo approach (TSE) is one of the most promising techniques satisfying this condition. Although the data acquisition time is significantly reduced, image quality may still suffer from artifacts due to patient motion and flow. The radial turbo spin echo (rTSE) approach combines TSE methods and projection reconstruction (PR) techniques. In PR images, artifacts induced by patient motion or flow are known to have a different appearance with lower level of intensity. The contrast and artifact behavior of the rTSE approach has been investigated. The new technique has been applied to abdominal imaging with acquisition times shorter than 30 s and to heart imaging in combination with cardiac triggering.

## Abstract Radial MRI sequences are frequently used to obtain images with reduced sensitivity to motion. To decrease imaging time, multiple spinβecho acquisitions can be incorporated into radial sequences. In this case, different radial lines of Fourier data have different TE times and the resulti
A magnetic resonance imaging method is presented for imaging of heterogeneous broad linewidth materials. This method allows for distortionless relaxation weighted imaging by obtaining multiple phase encoded k-space data points with each RF excitation pulse train. The use of this method, turbo spin e
We present a pulse sequence that enables the accurate and spatially resolved measurements of the displacements of spins in a variety of (biological) systems. The pulse sequence combines pulsed field gradient (PFG) NMR with turbo spin-echo (TSE) imaging. It is shown here that by ensuring that the pha
