Pulse sequence diagram of phase‐navigated DP 3D TSE. The adiabatic diffusion preparation uses a modified BIR‐4 pulse configuration for minimizing transmit B₁ effects, where 1 indicates excitation, 2 refocusing, and 3 restoration of signal. Diffusion gradients (gray) are placed symmetrically around the refocusing segment of the pulse and a gradient is placed after the restoration segment for spoiling residual transverse magnetization. A magnitude‐stabilizing gradient (red) is placed before signal restoration and later balanced in the 3D TSE readout. In the 3D TSE readout, startup echoes are acquired as navigator echoes (blue) using k_y phase encoding only. Imaging echoes (yellow) are acquired with k_y and k_z phase encoding.
