Optimal Selection of the Effective Echo Time (TEeff) for T2‐Weighted Fast‐Spin‐Echo MRI of the Prostate at 3.0 T: Effect on Lesion Conspicuity

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Clinical T2‐weighted (T2W) MRI of prostate cancer (PCa) usually implements a 2D fast‐spin‐echo (FSE) sequence, but understanding the echo‐time‐dependent contrast behavior is not straightforward due to the complicated FSE signal evolution.
