In this work, we demonstrated that a modified gradient-echo sampling of FID and echo (mGESFIDE) sequence was able to produce multiple contrast images (R₂, R₂', R₂*, local field map, QSM, positive and negative susceptibility maps) in 5 minutes of scan time. We developed a new algorithm for improved R₂ and R₂' maps by considering RF slice profiles in the excitation and refocusing RF pulses. Additionally, we developed a new method that generated a high-quality local field map by utilizing all echoes of mGESFIDE.
