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 have different echo times (TE), 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 a 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 first image and said second image have different T2 weightings and different diffusion weightings.
