Abstract

In a volumetric fast spin-echo magnetic resonance imaging system a plurality of radio frequency pulses can be emitted. The plurality of radio frequency pulses can be directed toward a target sample. The plurality of radio frequency pulses can have a set of repetition times. The set of repetition times can define a frequency at which the plurality of radio frequency pulses are emitted. The set of repetition times can be varied during the emitting of the plurality of the radio frequency pulses. Magnetic resonance imaging data of a target sample can be received. A pseudo-random sampling pattern can be used to facilitate the receiving of the magnetic resonance imaging data having multiple magnetic resonance imaging contrasts for a single scan.
