Radial turbo spin-echo sequences (RARE, TSE, FSE) allow
for an efficient acquisition of multi-contrast images.
By applying the k-space weighted image contrast (KWIC)
filter, images with the clinically important
proton-density (PD) and T2 contrast are obtained from a
single radial TSE acquisition. The purpose of this work
is to extend this method towards an efficient
suppression of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This is
accomplished by Fourier-analysis of the multi-contrast
image series. In that way, CSF suppressed images with T2
contrast can be obtained in addition to the standard PD
and T2 weighted images from a single radial TSE
measurement.
