In this study, an optimized slice acquisition ordering method
was proposed to improve the signal attenuation and contrast alteration caused
by the crosstalk and MT effect in multi-slice HASTE imaging using a short TR. It demonstrated that a shorter acquisition time is
possible with an optimized slice acquisition order. It allows a shorter TR,
whilst maintaining the SNR and contrast similar to the conventional one, which
is particularly useful in the abdominal imaging.
