Abstract
A method for imaging a subject using an magnetic resonance imaging (MR) system is presented. The method includes sampling a k-space in a rotating fashion using a plurality of radially directed blades around a center of the k-space. A first subset of blades is acquired with a positive excitation pulse and a first plurality of refocusing pulses. Further, a second subset of blades is acquired with a negative excitation pulse and a second plurality of refocusing pulses. The polarity of the second subset of blades is inverted to generate a third subset of blades. The first subset of blades and the third subset of blades are then combined to generate a final k-space. Finally, a medical image of the subject is generated based on a reconstruction of the final k-space.
