Abstract

A system and method are provided for producing at least one of an image or a map of a subject. The method includes controlling a magnetic resonance imaging system to perform a pulse sequence that includes at least one phase increment of an RF pulse of a gradient echo pulse sequence configured to encode longitudinal relaxation (T1) information in an imaginary component of a magnetic resonance (MR) data received from the subject and encode at least transverse relaxation (T2) information in a real component of the MR data received from the subject. The method also includes generating a T1 image or map of the subject or a T2 image or map of the subject from the MR data and displaying the T1 image or map or the T2 image or map of the subject.
