摘要
Double-inversion fast spin-echo (FSE) pulse sequences can be designed to provide excellent suppression of blood signal in black-blood MRI. However, because a nonselective inversion is used, these sequences typically have been highly inefficient. In this work it is demonstrated that the efficiency of double-inversion sequences can be greatly improved by a form of interleaving in which all of the slices to be imaged in a single pass are reinverted each time a signal is obtained from any single slice. To date, several studies have demonstrated a high level of blood suppression with these more efficient techniques. (C) 2002 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
