ABSTRACT:
MRI method and apparatus using simultaneous image refocusing of multiple MRI slices that have different phase histories imparted by applying different amount of additional energy to the different slices before the first refocusing, in combination with applying novel fid spoiling that suppresses interference between stimulated echoes and spin echoes of different slices while allowing non-interfering stimulated echoes to be added to the appropriate primary echoes.
