Results of phantom measurements. The agreement between T2 measurements using the GraSE sequence and the reference (CPMG sequence) were excellent for the 9 Echo and the 6 Echo variant with the parameter “slice profile” set to “optimal” and one start-up echo. Without start-up echo, T2 relaxation times were slightly overestimated (7Ec no s.e.). The dotted line in gray represents the line of identity corresponding to a perfect agreement with the reference.
