✦ Synopsis

Expressions for the contrast-to-noise ( C / N ) behavior in images obtained from rapid low flip-angle excitation pulses are derived, taking into account both TI-and T,-dependent contrasts. It is shown, and demonstrated experimentally, that images with T2-weighted contrasts can be efficiently acquired with such sequences, by a suitable choice of TR, T,, and tip angle.

## Abstract In this work, the feasibility of using __T__~2ρ~ weighting as an MR contrast mechanism is evaluated. Axial images of a human brain were acquired using a single‐slice spin‐lock __T__~2ρ~‐weighted pulse sequence and compared to analogous __T__~2~‐weighted images of the same slice. The con
