Abstract
Interlaced acquisition of orthogonal spin-echo orientation slices yields saturated intersection lines, which are available for a system characterization (spatial distortions, slice thickness, chemical shift displacement). Additionally, these scout images contain complete information for a transformation of the gradient coordinate system into the oblique coordinate system of the patient, bearing standardized planes for improved image interpretation and quantitative examinations.
