MRI sequences with a mixed GE/SE signal have been shown to be suitable for a wide range of applications due to the wide variety of accessible parameters. This work presents in vivo results of a 10-echo GESE sequence based on an EPIK readout to demonstrate the feasibility of whole-brain acquisitions below 5min, including T2 and T2* maps; comparison is made to reference methods. The generated images are artefact free and the T2*-maps correspond with conventional multi-echo GE results. The T2 values are higher than those from conventional SE, but are correctable using a reduced TE and improved fitting.
