## Abstract Conventional T2โweighted spinโecho magnetic resonance imaging of the knee requires a long TR. Fast spinโecho (FSE) imaging can improve acquisition efficiency severalfold by collecting multiple lines of k space for each TR. Compromises in resolution, section coverage, and contrast inevit

In this article, the authors illustrate the contributions of incidental magnetization transfer contrast (MTC) to the signal characteristics of patellar cartilage on routine, multiplanar fast spin-echo (FSE) images. Incidental MTC diminishes the signal of patellar cartilage by 30% on routine FSE scan
A computer simulation has been used to calculate the effects of J coupling on the amplitudes of echoes produced by CPMG sequences. The program computes the evolution of the density matrix for different pulse intervals and can predict the signals obtainable from spin systems of any size and complexit
## Abstract Preliminary work has demonstrated that dynamic contrast materialโenhanced magnetic resonance imaging improves the detection sensitivity for pituitary microadenomas. The authors present a new method of obtaining dynamic contrastenhanced pituitary images with a short TR/TE fast spinโecho
## Abstract A simple method was devised to reduce ringing and blurring artifacts caused by discontinuous T2 weighting of kโspace data in fast spinโecho magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. The method demodulates the weighting function along the phaseโencoding direction by using multiple T2 values deriv
