FIG 1. A–H, MR images of the phantom acquired with a conventional 3D FASE protocol (4000/4 [TR/number of shots], A) and seven fast recovery 3D FASE protocols (B–H): 1000/4 (B), 1500/2 (C), 2000/2 (D), 2500/2 (E), 3000/2 (F), 3000/1 (G), 4000/1 (H). Grids were aligned parallel to the phase-encoding direction, which has more blurring than the frequency direction. Note that protocols A, B, D, E, and F clearly depict the 0.75-mm grids separately. Only protocol A depicts the 0.5-mm grids separately.
