Figure 2

Slice locations on the SC (SL 1–SL 7) and corresponding single-echo (TE = 3 ms; 603 shots) images acquired with rosette readouts, multi-echo average (TE = 3, 7.8 and 15 ms; 603 shots) images acquired with rosette readouts, and single-echo (TE = 3 ms) images acquired with Cartesian (FLASH) readouts from a representative subject. Severe motion artifacts are visible in the images (SL 4–SL 7) acquired with Cartesian readouts, which are barely noticeable in the images acquired with rosette readouts. Multi-echo averaged rosette-readout images show increased contrast between different types of tissues compared to the single-echo rosette-readout images.
