The present invention provides a system and method of MR imaging
particularly applicable with fast spin echo protocols. Odd and even
echoes are used to create separate blades or strips in k-space.
Preferably, each blade extends through the center of k-space. The blades
are incrementally rotated about the center of k-space with each echo
train until a full set of k-space data is acquired. After a phase
correction, each odd and even blade is combined into a single k-space
data set that is used for image reconstruction.
