The fast spin‐echo (FSE) sequence is frequently used as a fast data‐readout technique in conjunction with other pulse sequence elements, such as in fluid‐attenuated inversion‐recovery (FLAIR) and double inversion‐recovery (DIR) sequences. In order to implement those pulse sequences, an understanding...
