ABSTRACT:
A fast spin echo NMR pulse sequence is modified to stabilize the magnitude of early NMR echo signals produced during each shot. Stabilization is accomplished by modifying the amplitude of the nutation angle produced in the spins by the corresponding RF refocusing pulses. When selective RF refocusing pulses are employed the slice is divided into subslices and the modifications are made separately to each subslice.
