Abstract
A method and a device are provided that improve quantification of the spin-spin relaxation ('T') time of an image in nuclear magnetic resonance ('NMR') applications using fast multi spin-echo sequences. The method employs time-efficient computer simulations for exact modeling of spurious stimulated echoes in multi-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) runs. The method employs Bloch simulations and can use a plurality of parameters to produce echo modulation curves prior to correcting distorted experimental data based on pre-calculated simulation values.
