title: [Clinical value of the ultrafast gradient echo sequence "Quickflash"].
abstract: It is possible to develop faster sequences with 6 mT/m gradient field strength. However, the short gradient switch times which are advantageous for a better image contrast cannot be achieved. Using longer measurement times the influence of the preparation pulses is less dominant. The image quality of the quickflash is poorer than that of conventional SE and GE sequences. In some cases, especially for outline views and in the evaluation of Gd inflow into pathologic tissue or in restless patients, we use the quickflash in clinical routine.
