What Does GRASS Stand For?

GRASS stands for Gradient Recalled Acquisition In The Steady State

GRASS, or Gradient Recalled Acquisition In The Steady State, is an MRI technique designed to enhance the speed and efficiency of imaging while maintaining high spatial resolution. It utilizes a gradient-echo sequence that allows for rapid data acquisition, making it particularly effective for assessing various tissue types and creating detailed images of anatomical structures. GRASS is commonly used in neurological and musculoskeletal imaging due to its ability to capture dynamic processes and provide high contrast in images.
