Abstract
A method of magnet resonance (MR) imaging of an object including: subjecting an object in an examination volume of an MR device to a dual echo steady state imaging sequence, a free induction decay signal (FID) and an echo signal (ECHO) being generated in each interval between two successive RF pulses, wherein a pair of diffusion gradient waveforms (GDIF) of equal phase integral and opposed polarity is applied in the interval between the FID signal and the echo signal; —acquiring the FID signals and the echo signals in a number of repetitions of the imaging sequence with varying phase encoding; and —reconstructing a diffusion weighted MR image from the acquired FID signals and echo signals.
