Multi-spectral imaging techniques such as MAVRIC, SEMAC, and MAVRIC SL based on 3D TSE sequence significantly reduce metal artifacts. MAVRIC and MAVRIC-SL techniques traditionally employ Gaussian RF pulses to achieve an optimal sum of squares composite image while SEMAC uses windowed-sinc RF pulses. In this work, we implement multi-spectral acquisition into the variable flip-angle TSE with hard RF pulses which yields a desirable sum of squares composite image while achieving high turbo-factor and minimal echo spacing in imaging near metallic screws in phantom and an ex vivo lamb leg.
