OBJECTIVE
Our goal was to evaluate the decreased sensitivity of RARE-derived pulse sequences to susceptibility effects.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A variety of RARE-derived T2-weighted fast SE echo (FSE) sequences with echo trains from 6 to 16 were compared with conventional SE (CSE) sequences by means of MRI in phantoms (iron oxides), volunteers (n = 10), and patients (n = 13) with old hemorrhagi...
