Abstract

The echo time in an MR pulse sequence is optimized in accordance with the application desired. Advantageously, the echo time is selected to cause a partial volume signal cancellation from veins as compared with background tissue, and the MR pulse sequence is of a velocity-compensated type. MR data are acquired from gradient echoes. Multiple echoes may be used to extract information (such as volume content and susceptibility) about the material under investigation.
