Comparison between different encoding pulse trains (left), combined with different refocusing methods (right - only refocused signal components shown). Both super-STE designs outperform the conventional 90°-90° by storing more magnetization in MencZ (left). Both the super-STE excitation and and STEP improve the signal, with the final magnetization refocused along MX or MZ. (The schemes from Fig. 1A,B are shown in “90° Excitation”, Fig. 1C in “Super-STE Excitation”, and Fig. 1D in “STEP”).
