PurposeTo develop a high-speed T-2 mapping protocol that is capable of accurately measuring T-2 relaxation time constants from a single-shot acquisition. TheoryA new echo-split single-shot gradient-spin-echo (GRASE) pulse sequence is developed to acquire multicontrast data while suppressing signals from most nonprimary echo pathways in Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) echoes. Residual nonprimary pathway signals are taken into consideration when performing T-2 mapping using a parametric multiplexed sensitivity encoding based on projection onto convex sets (parametric-POCSMUSE) reconstruction method that incorporates extended phase graph modeling of GRASE signals. MethodsThe single-shot echo-split GRASE-based T-2 mapping procedure was evaluated in human studies at 3 Tesla. The acquired data were compared with reference data obtained with a more time-consuming interleaved spin-echo echo planar imaging protocol. T-2 maps derived from conventional single-shot GRASE scans, in which nonprimary echo pathways were not appropriately addressed, were also evaluated. ResultsUsing the developed single-shot T-2 mapping protocol, quantitatively accurate T-2 maps can be obtained with a short scan time (<0.2 seconds per slice). ConclusionAccurate T-2 mapping with minimal signal contamination from CPMG high-order echo pathways can be achieved by the developed method that integrates single-shot echo-split GRASE acquisition and parametric-POCSMUSE reconstruction.
