This table does not include uncommon and experimental sequences.

Group Sequence Abbr. Physics Main clinical distinctions Example
Spin echo T1 weighted T1 Measuring spin–lattice relaxation by using a short repetition time (TR) and echo time (TE).

Standard foundation and comparison for other sequences

T2 weighted T2 Measuring spin–spin relaxation by using long TR and TE times

Standard foundation and comparison for other sequences

Normal axial T2-weighted MR image of the brain.jpg
Proton density weighted PD Long TR (to reduce T1) and short TE (to minimize T2).[3] Joint disease and injury.[4] Proton density MRI of a grade 2 medial meniscal tear.jpg
Gradient echo (GRE) Steady-state free precession SSFP Maintenance of a steady, residual transverse magnetisation over successive cycles.[6] Creation of cardiac MRI videos (pictured).[6] Four chamber cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging.gif
Effective T2
or "T2-star"		 T2* Postexcitation refocused GRE with small flip angle.[7] Low signal from hemosiderin deposits (pictured) and hemorrhages.[7] Effective T2-weighted MRI of hemosiderin deposits after subarachnoid hemorrhage.png
Inversion recovery Short tau inversion recovery STIR Fat suppression by setting an inversion time where the signal of fat is zero.[8] High signal in edema, such as in more severe stress fracture.[9] Shin splints pictured: Shinsplint-mri (crop).jpg
Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery FLAIR Fluid suppression by setting an inversion time that nulls fluids High signal in lacunar infarction, multiple sclerosis (MS) plaques, subarachnoid haemorrhage and meningitis (pictured).[10] FLAIR MRI of meningitis.jpg
Double inversion recovery DIR Simultaneous suppression of cerebrospinal fluid and white matter by two inversion times.[11] High signal of multiple sclerosis plaques (pictured).[11] Axial DIR MRI of a brain with multiple sclerosis lesions.jpg
Diffusion weighted (DWI) Conventional DWI Measure of Brownian motion of water molecules.[12] High signal within minutes of cerebral infarction (pictured).[13] Cerebral infarction after 4 hours on DWI MRI.jpg
Apparent diffusion coefficient ADC Reduced T2 weighting by taking multiple conventional DWI images with different DWI weighting, and the change corresponds to diffusion.[14] Low signal minutes after cerebral infarction (pictured).[15] Cerebral infarction after 4 hours on ADC MRI.jpg
Diffusion tensor DTI Mainly tractography (pictured) by an overall greater Brownian motion of water molecules in the directions of nerve fibers.[16] White Matter Connections Obtained with MRI Tractography.png
Perfusion weighted (PWI) Dynamic susceptibility contrast DSC Gadolinium contrast is injected, and rapid repeated imaging (generally gradient-echo echo-planar T2 weighted) quantifies susceptibility-induced signal loss.[18] In cerebral infarction, the infarcted core and the penumbra have decreased perfusion (pictured).[19] Tmax by MRI perfusion in cerebral artery occlusion.jpg
Dynamic contrast enhanced DCE Measuring shortening of the spin–lattice relaxation (T1) induced by a gadolinium contrast bolus.[20]
Arterial spin labelling ASL Magnetic labeling of arterial blood below the imaging slab, which subsequently enters the region of interest.[21] It does not need gadolinium contrast.[22]
Functional MRI (fMRI) Blood-oxygen-level dependent imaging BOLD Changes in oxygen saturation-dependent magnetism of hemoglobin reflects tissue activity.[23] Localizing highly active brain areas before surgery, also used in research of cognition.[24] 1206 FMRI.jpg
Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and venography Time-of-flight TOF Blood entering the imaged area is not yet magnetically saturated, giving it a much higher signal when using short echo time and flow compensation. Detection of aneurysm, stenosis, or dissection[25] Mra-mip.jpg
Phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging PC-MRA Two gradients with equal magnitude, but opposite direction, are used to encode a phase shift, which is proportional to the velocity of spins.[26] Detection of aneurysm, stenosis, or dissection (pictured).[25] Vastly undersampled Isotropic Projection Reconstruction (VIPR) Phase Contrast (PC) sequence MRI of arterial dissections.jpg
(VIPR)
Susceptibility-weighted SWI Sensitive for blood and calcium, by a fully flow compensated, long echo, gradient recalled echo (GRE) pulse sequence to exploit magnetic susceptibility differences between tissues Detecting small amounts of hemorrhage (diffuse axonal injury pictured) or calcium.[27] Susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) in diffuse axonal injury.jpg
