Abstract
Fast spin echo, or turbo spin echo (FSE or TSE), imaging is an evolution of the conventional spin echo (CSE) technique we have been discussing so far. The innovation of TSE is that it accelerates the echo acquisition without altering the excitation limb. Specifically, multiple echoes are generated per TR cycle, each one with a different value of the phase encoding gradient (Fig. 48). All echoes contribute to the contrast in the image, despite the fact that they are shifted in time and phase with respect to each other.
