Claim 0:
1. A method for turbo spiral echo (TSE) imaging of a subject, the method implemented by one or more computing devices and comprising:
generating a TSE pulse sequence comprising a series of radio frequency (RF) refocusing pulses to produce a corresponding series of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spin echo signals;
generating a gradient waveform comprising a first plurality of segments collectively comprising a spiral ring retraced in-out trajectory;
generating during an interval adjacent to each of the series of RF refocusing pulses a first gradient pulse according to the gradient waveform, wherein the first gradient pulses encode the NMR spin echo signals; and
constructing an image from digitized samples of the NMR spin echo signals obtained based at least in part on the encoding.
