Abstract
In a turbo-spin echo sequence, nuclear magnetic resonance signals lying chronologically closer to an excitation phase are entered into a first raw data matrix for the acquisition of a proton-density-weighted image and nuclear magnetic resonance signals lying farther from the excitation phase are entered into a second raw data matrix for the acquisition of a T2-weighted image. Fewer rows are acquired for the first raw data matrix after every excitation phase than are acquired for the second raw data matrix. This avoids nuclear magnetic resonance signals that are already relatively strongly T2-weighted from being employed for the acquisition of a proton-density-weighted image.
