In this abstract, we demonstrate a clinical application of a MB-PINS-HASTE sequence with TRAPS and compare it to a standard HASTE protocol which is used in daily clinical practice. The modified MB-PINS-HASTE sequence offers the possibility to overcome limitations related to its typically high energy deposition and can accelerate the acquisition by acquiring several slices simultaneously. The reconstructed images show good diagnostic quality for the evaluation of the overall brain and CSF spaces in patients with small vessel disease. MB-PINS HASTE therefore offers the possibility of using ultrafast spin-echo imaging to acquire anatomical T2-weighted images and follow dynamic signal changes.
