with zero fill for partial acquisitions and
for rectangular FOV
- Multilayer 2D, half-echo
- Multilayer 2D, half-scan

Acquisition 3D, with reconstruction according to
Fourier transformed 3D (in isotropic 3D
the reconstructed volume can be stored both
on hard disk and optical disk for subsequent
multiplanar relicing, in anisotropic 3D a
multilayer is produced as in 2D);
- 2D in real time as a reference image for
positioning
- dynamic acquisition in given time

Turbo acquisitions (with several echoes)
