Abstract:
The recent advent and implementation of rapid spin-echo techniques has allowed increased imaging speed while maintaining spin-echo-like contrast. This review explains the basis of fast spin-echo imaging and attempts to elucidate the etiology of the differences between it and spin-echo imaging. Clinical applications and limitations of fast spin-echo imaging in the brain and spine will also be addressed.
