Abstract
In an MRI system a scan is performed to acquire data from which multiple intersecting slice images are reconstructed. During each pulse sequence, the slices are separately and selectively excited to produce transverse magnetization, and this magnetization is collectively refocused by a single non-selective refocusing pulse which produces an echo signal for each slice image. The flip angles of the excitation pulses are chosen to eliminate saturation lines at the slice intersections.
