Abstract
An MRI method includes performing a first image acquisition module of a pulse sequence to acquire a first MR data from slices disposed at different locations in a region of interest (ROI) of an object; performing a second image acquisition module of the pulse sequence, to acquire a second MR data from the slices disposed at the different locations of the ROI, with a T2 preparation time different than that of the first image acquisition module; and generating a T2 map based on the acquired first MR data and the acquired second MR data.
