FIG 3. Images with various TE values. Effective TE values were set at 72 (A), 144 (B), 217 (C), 294 (D), 325 (E), and 390 (F) ms. The TR was set at 1500 ms, and the echo spacing was set at 18.1 ms. The image with the effective TE of 294 ms, which was the center of the echo train length, provided the fewest ghost artifacts while maintaining a high contrast-to-noise ratio between neural tissue and CSF.
