A new steady-state imaging sequence for simultaneous acquisition of two MR images with clearly different contrasts.
We present a new steady-state imaging sequence, which simultaneously allows in a single acquisition the formation of two MR images with clearly different contrasts. The contrast of the first image is FISP-like, whereas the second image is strongly T2-weighted. In principle the T2 values in the image can be calculated from the combination of the first and second images. We also show calculated T2 images.
