Pule Sequence Diagram for 3D ECG-triggered, navigator gated, spoiled gradient echo sequence with multi-echo multi-interleave readout (GRE-MEMI). Multiple echoes are used during reconstruction by VARPRO for iterative water-fat decomposition. No fat-saturation prepulse is applied separately. Multi-interleaved scheme achieves shorter echo time increments between multiple echoes, which improves the fat-water separation.
