Single shot (SS) rapid acquisition with relaxation enhancement (RARE) and half Fourier SS‐RARE (HFSS‐RARE, HASTE, or SS‐FSE) sequences allow ultrafast imaging acquisition and generate high imaging quality. Images can be acquired within a very short time, without artifacts from physiologic motion. They are widely applied in the abdominal MRI. Clinical application of the ultrafast SS‐RARE imaging techniques provide not only improved temporal resolution but better spatial resolution, higher SNR, and higher tissue contrast. Imaging parameters must be optimized for different MR scanners to obtain diagnostic images.
