## Abstract A new phase‐encoding scheme for gradient‐ and spin‐echo (GRASE) imaging giving a short effective TE is described. Unlike previous orders, phase encoding is centric rather than sequential. The sequence is a development of k‐banded GRASE that uses different time segments of the echo train

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
Based on the CPMG sequence, gradient‐ and spin‐echo (GRASE) echo train length is limited by T2 decay rather than the T2^*^ decay and phase error in echo‐planar techniques, permitting a longer image acquisition period. An ultrafast GRASE sequence, utilizing a single excitation, generates a 128 × 56 true T2‐weighted image in 200 ms on an unmodified commercial scanner without fast gradient switching, extreme field homogeneity, or fat signal suppression.

## Abstract The vascular space occupancy (VASO) method was recently proposed as a functional MRI (fMRI) method that is capable of detecting activation‐related changes in blood volume (CBV), without the need for a blood‐pool contrast agent. In the present work we introduce a new whole‐brain VASO tec
## 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 co
## Abstract The stimulated‐echo acquisition mode‐Burst sequence is a single‐shot, multi‐slice imaging technique that does not involve rapid gradient switching. A Burst excitation pulse train is followed by a 90° hard pulse and, after a mixing time, by a 90° slice‐selective pulse. A read gradient re
