Abstract
An NMR system acquires data by performing a scan using a spin echo pulse sequence. An image is produced from the acquired data using a 2DFT reconstruction method. During the scan the echo time (TE) or the repetition time (TR) is altered as a function of phase encoding value to decrease total scan time or to improve signal-to-noise.
