Abstract

A method for accelerating magnetic resonance imaging is proposed. In 3D MRI, the method utilizes two sub-echo-trains in each repetition time for the simultaneous acquisition of two contrasts. The first sub-echo-train is a turbo spin echo train and the second sub-echo-train is a gradient echo train. The method acquires two different contrasts simultaneously in a single acquisition, for example one water image plus one fat image, or one turbo spin echo image plus one susceptibility weighted image.
