1. A method of acquiring T2-weighted and diffusion-weighted images, comprising: acquiring a first image and a second image in a single magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, wherein said first image and said second image are separated by a spoiler gradient, wherein said single MRI scan comprises a series of repeated RF excitation pulses, wherein an echo signal for said first image and an echo signal for said second image are acquired between one pair of said RF excitation pulses, wherein said spoiler gradient is disposed to provide a first diffusion weighting to said first image and a second diffusion weighting to said second image, wherein said MRI scan is repeated with different said spoiler gradients, wherein each said spoiler gradient is used to apply a different said diffusion weighting to each said image, wherein each said image has a unique said T2 weighting and a unique said diffusion weighting.
