The conventional stimulated-echo NMR sequence only measures the longitudinal component while discarding the transverse component, after tipping up the prepared magnetization. This transverse magnetization can be used to measure a spin echo, in addition to the stimulated echo. Two-dimensional single-

## Abstract Measuring __T__~2~ at 7.0 T is not trivial due to RF inhomogeneity effects, however, gradient echo sampling of a spin echo is insensitive to RF pulse errors, does not suffer from significant distortions, and allows __T__′~2~ and __T__~2~ to be estimated simultaneously. Gradient echo sam
## Abstract ## Purpose: To compare the diagnostic accuracy of superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO)‐enhanced fluid‐attenuated inversion‐recovery echo‐planar imaging (FLAIR EPI) for malignant liver tumors with that of T2‐weighted turbo spin‐echo (TSE), T2\*‐weighted gradient‐echo (GRE), and diffusion
