Modified stimulated echo sequence for elimination of signals from stationary spins in MRI.
Simple modification of the basic stimulated echo sequence (MSTE), including bipolar gradient modulation, permits one to generate relative motion phase modulations between the two STE magnetization components. It is shown how this self-referencing process can provide flow enhancement without combination of separated images.
