Clinical Utility of a Novel Ultrafast T2-Weighted Sequence for Spine Imaging [SPINE]

CONCLUSIONS:
We present a fast T2-weighted spine protocol using variable refocusing flip angles, including a single-shot variant. The sequences have better point spread function behavior than their constant flip angle counterparts and, being faster, should be less sensitive to patient motion, often seen in the longer TSE scans.
