Fast‐spin‐echo versus rapid gradient‐echo for 3D magnetization‐prepared acquisitions: Application to inhomogeneous magnetization transfer

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

FSE generally offers higher SNR compared to gradient-echo based acquisitions for magnetization-prepared contrasts as illustrated here in the case of ihMT. However, physiological noise has a significant effect, but an inversion-recovery-based CSF suppression was shown to be efficient in mitigating effects of CSF motion.
