Single slice triple echo steady-state (TESS) imaging has
demonstrated potential for robust highly B1-insensitive
T2 relaxometry in the human brain. In this work, a
Hadamard-encoding excitation scheme is investigated for
fast simultaneous multislice TESS acquisitions. The
achieved improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio was
invested into a reduction of the overall scan time per
slice yielding about 10 sec / slice. As a result,
simultaneous multislice TESS imaging is of high interest
for accurate T2 quantification in the clinical routine
offering full brain coverage within clinically
acceptable scan times.
