spin echo sequences
Spin-echo pulse sequences are one of the earliest developed and still widely used (in the form of fast spin-echo) of all MRI pulse sequences. The pulse sequence timing can be adjusted to give T1-weighted, proton density, and T2-weighted images. Dual echo and multiecho sequences can be used to obtain both proton density and T2-weighted images simultaneously.
The two variables of interest in spin echo sequences are the repetition time (TR) and the echo time (TE). All spin echo sequences include a slice selective 90-degree pulse followed by one or more 180 degree refocusing pulses as shown in the diagrams.
