To aim for accelerated brain routine MRI, a novel 3D multi-contrast imaging technique using the hybrid acquisition of FSE and GRE was proposed. The basic image contrasts commonly used in clinical practice such as T1 weighted, T2 weighted and FLAIR were acquired simultaneously. The comparison with conventional 3D imagings was performed in term of image contrast and scan time to demonstrate the proof of concept. The proposed technique potentially gives a new perspective of the use of 3D acquisition strategy.
