For years, investigators have sought after faster MR scanning techniques. Gradient echo and echo planar imaging were potential candidates that met with limited success. Fast spin echo (FSE) imaging was an innovation that revolutionized the clinical utility of MR imaging and fulfilled the promise of fast diagnostic MR scanning. FSE allows for the acquisition of MR images that often equals and occasionally exceeds the quality of conventional spin echo imaging, all during less or similar scanning time.
多年来，研究人员一直在探寻更快的磁共振成像（MR）扫描技术。梯度回波和回波平面成像曾是有望成功的候选技术，但成效有限。快速自旋回波（FSE）成像则是一项革新，它彻底改变了MR成像的临床应用，并实现了快速诊断性MR扫描的前景。FSE能够采集到通常等同于甚至偶尔超过传统自旋回波成像质量的MR图像，而且整个过程所需的扫描时间更短或相近。
