摘要：
This work presents a new imaging sequence in which multiple slices are simultaneously excited and refocused in a spin-echo train. The multiple spin-echo trains are interleaved in such a manner that (i) the Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill conditions are fulfilled at all times, and (ii) the signals from slices can be separated, preventing aliasing. This paper also demonstrates how the sequence may be used in a novel fat-water Dixon method that enables fast volume coverage. The technique is demonstrated in phantoms and in vivo.
