Radial Fast Spin Echo (FSE) methods have been proposed for fast T2 mapping using highly undersampled data. One approach to process the data is based on echo sharing where mixed TE data sets are used to reconstruct T2 maps. Due to the mixing of TE data, however, T2 estimation for small structures could be problematic.
