The double inversion fast spin echo (DBIR-FSE) pulse
sequence is used to generate black blood images of the
heart but is known to be a single slice technique due to
a non-selective inversion pulse used for magnetization
preparation. In this work we present a multi-band
version of DBIR-FSE which can generate multiple slices
acquired at the null point of blood and exhibits better
SNR efficiency. A radial version of the proposed
sequence can generate anatomical images of multiple
slices along with individual echo images at different
TE's and T2 maps in a single breath-hold.
