We present a new approach to spiral RARE with annular segmentation. Annular segmentation leads to monotonous T2-dependent weighting of signal amplitudes across k-space and thus to very benign artifact behavior. Preliminary results show that single shot images (128x128) of decent quality can be acquired without fat suppression and without field inhomogeneity correction. By cyclic shifting of the spiral segments quantitative T1- and/or T2- images can be acquired in a few seconds. Sequence implementation was performed swiftly and efficiently in MatLab with the vendor independent Pulseq sequence development environment.
