(GRASS) This sequence is very similar to FLASH, except that the spoiler pulse is eliminated. As a result, any transverse magnetization still present at the time of the next RF pulse is incorporated into the steady state. GRASS uses a RF pulse that alternates in sign. Because there is still some remaining transverse magnetization at the time of the RF pulse, a RF pulse of a degree flips the spins less than a degree from the longitudinal axis. With small flip angles, very little longitudinal magnetization is lost and the image contrast becomes almost independent of T1. Using a very short TE eliminates T2* effects, so that the images become proton density weighted. As the flip angle is increased, the contrast becomes increasingly dependent on T1 and T2*. It is in the domain of large flip angles and short TR that GRASS exhibits vastly different contrast to FLASH type sequences.

(SEMS) This pulse sequence is composed of a 90° RF pulse followed by a 180° refocusing pulse. Both RF pulses are applied in the presence of a slice select gradient.
By choosing of different TR and TE, depending on the T1 and T2 values of the tissues, proton density, T1 weighted and T2 weighted images can be acquired.
The inversion recovery option enlarge the RF pulses with a 180° inverting pulse, applied a TI time before the beginning of the pulse sequence in order to manipulate image contrast.

The basis of T1 weighted imaging is the longitudinal relaxation. A T1 weighted magnetic resonance image is created typically by using short TE and TR times.
The final image is a reflection of more than one of these pulse sequence parameters, weighted according to the type of sequence and its timing. T1 signals determine predominantly the contrast and brightness in this type of images but proton density will always contribute to the image intensity. The T1 dependence is mainly determined by the repetition time or any pre-pulses (such as in an inversion recovery pulse sequence).
Due to the larger longitudinal and transverse magnetization, fat has a higher signal and will appear bright on a T1 contrast MR image. Conversely, water has less longitudinal magnetization prior to a RF pulse, therefore less transverse magnetization after a RF pulse yielding low signal appearing dark on a T1 contrast image. Often, a paramagnetic contrast agent, a gadolinium compound, is administered, and both pre-contrast T1 weighted images and post-contrast T1 weighted images are obtained.
