Abstract
In order to optimize magnetic resonance (MR) images in spin echo-based imaging, MR raw data are acquired by applying a static magnetic field, an excitation pulse, a refocusing pulse, and an RF pulse at the same time point as an echo elicited by the pulses with the result that the magnetization in the negative z-direction is deflected by a flip angle. The flip angle is selected such that, given a specified repetition time of the excitation pulse, a predetermined contrast is provided for two specified tissue types of the subject to be imaged. An MR image is reconstructed from the acquired MR raw data.
