Four different images of a phantom of a cross-shaped piece of plastic immersed in water with a thin glass fibre, the tip of which is positioned within the thickness of the selected slice at the coordinates marked by red circles. Images (a) and (b) were obtained using the sequence shown in Figure 2b, and those in (c) and (d) using the sequences of Figure 9. The glass fibre can be seen in (b), (c) and (d), however, it is barely visible in (a) since T2inh effects are refocused. Note that in (c) and (d) T2inh effects are partially refocused to the same extent in all echoes across the entire object. All images were obtained with a total matrix size 64 × 64 with four-fold interleaving, an FOV of 27.0 × 27.0 mm, and TE = 14.4 ms. The lengths of the excitation pulses were 256 µs in all cases.
