This overview briefly traces the history and nomenclature of gradient-recalled-echo (GRE) techniques used in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. GRE sequences, which are now offered commercially by 11 major manufacturers of MR imagers, are presented to illustrate their structural similarities and subtle differences in implementation. A classification scheme is proposed for these sequences employing a vendor-independent nomenclature. A glossary of GRE abbreviations and acronyms found in the current MR marketplace also is presented.
本综述简要追溯了磁共振(MR)成像中使用的梯度回波(GRE)技术的历史和命名。目前有11家主要的MR成像仪制造商在商业上提供GRE序列,本文展示这些序列以说明它们在结构上的相似性和实施过程中的细微差异。针对这些序列,提出了一种采用与供应商无关的命名法的分类方案。文中还给出了当前MR市场中GRE缩写词和首字母缩略词的词汇表。
