摘要: Tissue contrast obtained using fast spin-echo (FSE) and conventional (SE) sequences is not identical a number of mechanisms are thought to contribute these differences. The effect stimulated echoes has previously been apparently ruled out as contributing mechanism. Signal-to-noise ratios single-slice matched FSE SE were compared in aqueous solutions CuSO4, Cr2(SO4)3 MnSO4 with various T1 T2 values. Enhancement the signal was observed short greater samples where ratio high. Reducing refocusing pulse flip angle increase contribution from also resulted slightly increased enhancement. Experimental results verified by computer simulations. Our show that do differences between images may be significant imaging brain hemorrhage.
