Abstract
A multisection, two-dimensional, Fourier transform, double-gradient-echo magnetic resonance imaging sequence with partial flip-angle excitation and section doubling by radiofrequency encoding approximately doubles the signal-to-noise ratio obtainable from a conventional spin-echo sequence at low field strength, while maintaining essentially equivalent contrast.
