1. Set up a slice selected 2D spin echo image with a hard ¹
pulse and see that there is a strong axial signal in a 1-transient
experiment. Why does a 4 scan sequence with Exorcycle phase shifting
remove the axial signals?
2. Compare the contrast differences between a gradient echo and
spin echo image. Why are they different?
3. For a 1-D flow observe the echo position in a z-gradient spin
echo sequence versus the flow rate. Show how the shift in the
echo position can be used to measure the flow velocity.
