T2-weighted lesional imaging is most commonly performed using inversion recovery turbo spin echoes. At 7T, however, this acquisition is limited for specific absorption rate and resolution. We implement a strategy that uses a driven equilibrium spin-echo preparation within an inversion recovery with multiple 3D gradient-echo imaging blocks to generate CSF-suppressed T2 weighted sensitivity. Images are combined using the self-normalization approach. Data acquired with an 8x2 transceiver array are shown to demonstrate sensitivity in brain tumors and epilepsy.
