Abstract
An MR pulse sequence for conducting fat- or water-suppressed multislice MR studies. Saturation prepulses are used less frequently than is conventional practice. Each time at least one saturation prepulse is used to saturate all slices in a group of slices, one line of MR data is acquired from each slice in the group without using any other saturation prepulse.
