[Usefulness of myocardial T2-weighted MR imaging using the turbo spin echo technique].
Myocardial T2-weighted imaging using the turbo spin echo technique was superior to the conventional spin echo technique because of the shorter scan time and reduced artifacts. Furthermore, single cardiac phase images of all planes could be taken within a short scan time. T2-weighted imaging using the turbo spin echo technique was an effective method to evaluate myocardial abnormalities.
