Abstract:
The fast spin echo (FPE) sequence is sensitive to the phase of the magnetization, hindering its use in procedures such as diffusion imaging. The current solutions to this problem reduce the available signal by one half. We present the first volunteer study of a sequence which does not suffer from this loss of signal while measuring diffusion coefficients.
