(a) The original hybrid time-encoding sequence proposed by Meyerand and Wong2, and (b) a typical BURST sequence. Gss, Gpe, Gro, and Gte represent slice-selection, phase-encoding, readout, and time-encoding gradients. In both cases, the re-phasing gradients will have the effect of un-winding the phase accumulated during excitation. The detection blocks of these two sequences are similar. Note that in the original BURST sequence15,16 phase-encoding is done in the detection block of the sequence, whereas in the modified version of BURST17 shown in (b), phase-encoding is achieved in the excitation block of the sequence.
