fluid PD vs T2 weighting
The truth is basicley that different tissues have different relaxation times, the signal of fluid last longer than fat in a T2, so it appears bright.

But also with a "short" TE of 30ms you can already achieve a high signal of fluid, but this is highley dependend of the TR. A long TR - 5000ms - will give you a high signal of fluid. But scantimes won't be acceptable...

fluid PD vs T2 weighting
Can anyone explain me, why - considering SE sequences with the same TR - fluid in a PD weighting (short TE) should have less signal than in a T2 weighting (long TE)? eg:
Fig 10, p 1397; radiographics resident tutorial: contrast mechanisms in spin echo MR imaging; Radiographics 1994; 14; pp 1389-1404

I would expect that the signal intensity of any tissue (regardless of it Proton density of T2-relaxation time) should decrease with increasing echo time.

Thank you

You can find a table of the approximate values of the two relaxation time constants and some relevant formulas on:
