Abstract
A device for magnetic resonance imaging of a body placed in an examination volume is configured to generate a series of MR spin echo signals from a first nuclear spin species by subjecting at least a portion of the body to an MR imaging pulse sequence. The MR imaging pulse sequence includes a spatially non-selective excitation RF pulse, a plurality of refocusing RF pulses, and a plurality of phase encoding switched magnetic field gradients. The device is further is configured to acquire the MR spin echo signals without application of frequency encoding magnetic field gradients; and to reconstruct an MR image from the acquired MR spin echo signals.
