3D Fast Spin Echo with flip angle modulation is used for
high resolution T2 weighted imaging due to high T2
contrast and the ability to reformat the data in any
desirable plane. Unavoidable violations of the CPMG
condition due to system imperfections generate
artifacts. Previously we presented a method to overcome
this problem with a two excitations approach where two
data sets are combined, such that scan time is twice as
long. In this work we present a new stable parallel
imaging method to synthesize the second data set from
the first thereby reducing scan time to a single
excitation.
