Using balanced SSFP in combination with unequally spaced
inversion pulses in between allows generating images
with pure T2-contrast. Here, this concept is adapted
using a radial trajectory to simultaneously generate
several T2-weighted images and a standard bSSFP image
(T2/T1-weighted) out of one single acquisition in a very
short scan time (~1.3s). Additionally, a T1-weighted
image can be obtained by a simple combination of these
contrasts. Therefore, the proposed method is a promising
candidate for clinical practice, especially for
situations where long scan times limit the applicability
of established protocols.
