Synopsis

We explore the use of a stack-of-stars 3D TSE sequence along with multi-echo DIXON readouts for SNR-efficient, free-breathing water-only T2 estimation at 0.55T. A subspace constrained reconstruction is combined with a multi-step fat/ water separation algorithm to generate water-only T2-weighted images and T2 maps.
