What is fast field echo?

Abstract. T2-fast field echo (T2FFE) sequence is a rapid T2-weighted steady state free precession sequence, but has not become a widely utilized MR-imaging strategy because of its low signal-to-noise ratio and high sensitivity to motion.

What is spin echo pulse sequence?

The spin echo sequence is made up of a series of events : 90° pulse – 180° rephasing pulse at TE/2 – signal reading at TE. This series is repeated at each time interval TR (Repetition time). With each repetition, a k-space line is filled, thanks to a different phase encoding.
