We propose a new method to increase the T2 encoding ability of MR-STAT sequences, according to a recently developed strategy for T2 mapping. Recent work has shown that RF phase modulated GRE sequences with small quadratic phase increments can effectively encode T2 information into the phase of the signal. In this abstract, we show that by incorporating a simple and similar RF modulation strategy in 2D MR-STAT sequences, T2 sensitivity of transient-state gradient-spoiled sequences is improved, and therefore T2 maps as well as the proton density maps (PD) can be reconstructed with higher accuracy.
