GS • This sequence of pulses makes it possible to GR acquire an echo in time TE, which will constitute a single line of the Fourier plane. This action will GP be repeated as many times as there are lines to acquire programmed in the sequence. FID • This repetition occurs at each time interval TR (Repetition time).

GR • Since this sequence does not have a refocusing pulse, it is more sensitive to the inhomogeneities of GP the B0 magnetic field. FID Gradientenecho • Please note: To know the value of the in-phase or opposed-phase TE, all you need to do is move the mouse cursor to the number of the TE.
