basic gradient echo sequences
Explanation:
There are a number of hits on Google for "basic gradient echo sequence". As I understand it, and I never was very strong in physics, this means that only one pulse was used for the sample. THis also has something to do with FLASH (fast low angle shot).

agree  Dr Sue Levy (X): or baseline perhaps - gradient-echo as opposed to spin-echo (don't ask me to explain!!!)
