Spin-echo-based Dixon sequences may suffer from reduced SNR efficiency, due to dead time necessary for the readout shifts. In this abstract, an imaging method utilizing two pairs of fast-switching bipolar readout gradients and partially-opposed-phase and in-phase Dixon (CETD) is proposed to further reduce dead time. More attractively, the novel steps in joint reconstruction of the two pairs ensure the consistency of water-fat separation.
