Fast parametric NMR imaging such as T2 and fat fraction mapping can be performed with a multi-spin-echo (MSE) sequence and an EPG-based model. Here, we compared a radial MSE encoding scheme to a standard Cartesian acquisition to monitor these two parameters in area subject to respiratory motion artifacts. Results show that the radial sequence was less affected from motion than the cartesian one and then improved the confidence of parameters estimation at these locations.
