To investigate the contrast in SE-WMRI spin echo imaging, we measured five tubes of SPIO solution with various concentrations using standard and SE-WMRI Multi-Slice-Multi-Echo (MSME) sequence. T2 relaxation times were then calculated based on the 16 acquired images per scan. Results show that with a 1.4-fold acceleration, the T2 relaxation time of SE-WMRI MSME remains the same within the error bar as standard imaging.
