An MRI method for measuring T2 in the presence of static and RF magnetic field Inhomogeneities
Abstract
A magnetic resonance imaging method for measuring the T2 relaxation time constant is proposed. It is based on the assumption that, under very general conditions, the MR signal near a spin echo has a special symmetry arising from the refocusing nature of the 180 degrees RF pulse. A gradient echo sampling of the spin echo (GESSE) sequence is implemented to evaluate T2 by collecting multiple gradient echoes before and after the spin echo. This …
