Abstract EN
The sequence of a multiecho gradient recalled echo (GRE) T2*-weighted imaging (T2*WI) is a relatively new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique.
In contrast to T2 relaxation, which acquires a spin echo signal, T2* relaxation acquires a gradient echo signal.
The sequence of a GRE T2*WI requires high uniformity of the magnetic field.
GRE T2*WI can detect the smallest changes in uniformity in the magnetic field and can improve the rate of small lesion detection.
In addition, the T2* value can indirectly reflect changes in tissue biochemical components.
Moreover, it can be used for the early diagnosis and quantitative diagnosis of some diseases.
This paper reviews the principles and clinical applications as well as the advantages and disadvantages of GRE T2*WI.
