Abstract
An improved method for obtaining a multi-slice acquisition in which images from several slices are simultaneously acquired at preselected repetition times. One scan allows for the acquiring of images from multiple slices, at multiple repetition times TR and multiple echo times TE in such a manner that all available readout time is utilized when both the first repetition time TR1 and the second repetition time TR2 are both appropriate combinations of defined measurement intervals.
