Claim 8:
9. A computing device, comprising memory comprising programmed instructions stored thereon and one or more processors configured to execute the stored programmed instructions to:
produce a turbo spiral echo (TSE) pulse sequence to generate a corresponding series of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spin echo signals, wherein the TSE pulse sequence comprises a series of radio frequency (RF) refocusing pulses;
generate first and second gradient waveforms each comprising a first plurality of segments collectively comprising a spiral ring retraced in-out trajectory;
generate during an interval adjacent to each of the series of RF refocusing pulses a pair of gradient pulses each according to one of the first or second gradient waveforms, wherein the pair of gradient pulses provides an encoding of the NMR spin echo signals; and
construct an image from digitized samples of the NMR spin echo signals obtained based in part on the encoding.
