Pulse sequence for operating a nuclear magnetic resonance tomography apparatus for producing images with different T2 contrast

摘要

A pulse sequence is disclosed for operating a nuclear magnetic resonance tomography apparatus for producing images having different T2 contrast. A signal for the gradient-echo imaging is first acquired after excitation of the nuclei subsequently, the magnetization, which is already prepared for imaging, is refocused by a 180 DEG radio-frequency pulse, and a second echo is measured in the presence of a readout gradient. Independent images having different T2 contrast can be reconstructed with the gradient echo and with the spin echo. It is thus possible to simultaneously measure a gradient echo image having a significantly lower T2 contrast during the measuring time for a spin echo image.
