Rapid and accurate dictionary-based T2 mapping from multi-echo turbo spin echo data at 7 Tesla.
Using lower refocusing flip angles in multi-echo turbo spin echo (ME-TSE) sequences at ultra-high magnetic field leads to non-monoexponential signal decay and overestimation of T2 values due to stimulated and secondary echoes. ⋯ 1 Technical Efficacy: Stage 1 J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2019;49:1253-1262.
