Non selective 3D-TSE acquisition with advanced refocusing pulse angle sweep has become an important technique in neuro-radiology. It can resolve the problem of partial volume effects and inherent CSF-inflow artifacts in FLAIR. However, scan times are inherently long especially when both T2w and FLAIR are required for the clinical application. This study shows a 3D TSE sequence with high SENSE factor that produces a T2w as well as a FLAIR image in a single experiment at 7T.
