Sequences
Spin Echo family of sequences
•
Spin Echo (SE) – Single, Double, and Multi Echo (up to 32 echoes); Inversion Recovery
(IR)
•
2D/3D Turbo Spin Echo (TSE) – Restore technique for shorter TR times while maintaining
excellent T2 contrast; TurboIR: Inversion Recovery for STIR, DarkFluid T1 and T2, TrueIR;
Echo Sharing for dual-contrast TSE
•
2D TSE with multiple average – it is possible to acquire T2-weighted TSE images during
shallow breathing, in a time efficient manner
•
2D/3D HASTE (Half-Fourier Acquisition with Single Shot Turbo Spin Echo) – Inversion
Recovery for STIR and DarkFluid contrast
•
SPACE for 3D imaging with high isotropic resolution with T1, T2, PD, and DarkFluid
Contrast
Gradient Echo family of sequences
•
2D/3D FLASH (spoiled GRE) – dual echo for in-/opposed phase imaging
•
3D VIBE (Volume Interpolated Breathhold Examination) – quick fat saturation; double
echo for in-phase/opposed phase 3D imaging; DynaVIBE: Inline 3D elastic motion
correction for multi phase data sets of the abdomen
•
2D/3D MEDIC (Multi Echo Data Image Combination) for high resolution T2 weighted
orthopedic imaging and excellent contrast
•
2D/3D TurboFLASH – 3D MPRAGE; single shot T1 weighted imaging e.g. for abdominal
imaging during free breathing
•
3D GRE for field mapping
•
2D/3D FISP (Fast Imaging with Steady State Precession)
•
2D/3D PSIF – PSIF Diffusion
•
Echo Planar Imaging (EPI) – diffusion-weighted; single shot SE and FID e.g. for BOLD
imaging and Perfusion-weighted imaging; 2D/3D Segmented EPI (SE and FID)
•
MRA sequence with Inline subtraction and Inline MIP
•
2D/3D Time-of-Flight (ToF) Angiography – single slab and multi slab; triggered and
segmented
•
2D/3D Phase Contrast Angiography
•
syngo BEAT Tool – TrueFISP segmented; 2D FLASH segmented; Magnetization-prepared
TrueFISP (IR, SR, FS); IR TI scout; Retrogating
