Abstract

A simple algorithm is presented, which permits recognition of all echos occurring in periodic multipulse sequences. The calculated and observed signal amplitudes are considerably higher than expected from primary echo formation alone. T 2 relaxation time measurements neglecting the formation of stimulated and indirect echoes lead to erroneous results. A method is demonstrated for a T 2-sensitive multiecho experiment. A RARE experiment based on these principles delivers sufficient signal intensity even with small refocusing flip angles.
