## Abstract Fast MR imaging methods should provide a familiar contrast behavior at a reduced scan time. The multi‐spin 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 f

Abstract
Radial MRI sequences are frequently used to obtain images with reduced sensitivity to motion. To decrease imaging time, multiple spin‐echo acquisitions can be incorporated into radial sequences. In this case, different radial lines of Fourier data have different TE times and the resulting images can contain streaking artifacts due to T~2~ decay. The streaking is not only dependent on the T~2~ of the object and the timing of the data acquisition, but also on the order in which radial lines are collected (view order). The view ordering can easily be controlled to minimize artifacts due to T~2~ decay as well as motion. Four view‐ordering techniques are presented and evaluated for the radial FSE sequence.

## Abstract Radial fast spin‐echo (radial‐FSE) methods enable multishot diffusion‐weighted MRI (DWMRI) to be carried out without significant artifacts due to motion and/or susceptibility and can be used to generate DWMRI images with high spatial resolution. In this work, a novel method that allows
It is shown that a spin-echo sequence may be used to acquire T(2)-weighted, high-resolution, high-SNR sections at quasi-real-time frame rates for interactive, diagnostic imaging. A single-shot fast spin-echo sequence was designed which employs driven equilibrium to realign transverse magnetization r
