چکیده
around the perimeter of the body, not including fat signal (red). 2(b) Example b = 800 s mm images of each of the tested fat suppression combinations. Note the loss of water signal in some of the images acquired using SSGR as demonstrated by the white arrow. Note that due to time restrictions not all fat suppression techniques could be tested on the same volunteer. Combinatorial fat suppression for Diffusion Weighted Imaging at 3.0T

Fat suppression with Slice-Selection Gradient Reversal (SSGR) revisited;
Introduction Robust fat suppression is crucial for accurate evaluation of T2-weighted, post-contrast T1-weighted, and diffusion-weighted images. Nowadays, fat suppression is satisfactory in most of the cases. However, susceptibility induced field inhomogeneities as well as B1 inhomogeneity increases substantially with increasing field strength, which makes homogeneous fat suppression challengin...
متن کاملMR Imaging of the Spine at 3.0T with T2-Weighted IDEAL Fast Recovery Fast Spin-Echo Technique
OBJECTIVE To compare the iterative decomposition of water and fat with echo asymmetry and the least-squares estimation (IDEAL) method with a fat-saturated T2-weighted (T2W) fast recovery fast spin-echo (FRFSE) imaging of the spine. MATERIALS AND METHODS Images acquired at 3.0 Tesla (T) in 35 patients with different spine lesions using fat-saturated T2W FRFSE imaging were compared with T2W IDE...
متن کاملQuantitative Evaluation of Fat Suppression Techniques for Breast MRI at 3.0T
Introduction With higher intrinsic SNR and background suppression tissue due to longer T1, Breast MRI at 3.0T offers higher spatial resolution and greater contrast enhancement than 1.5T1. However, because greater B0 and B1 inhomogeneity, fat suppression, which is important for optimal lesion conspicuity, becomes more challenging2. While there are three choices of fat suppression (FS) commonly a...
متن کاملRobust fat suppression at 3T in high-resolution diffusion-weighted single-shot echo-planar imaging of human brain.
Single-shot echo-planar imaging is the most common acquisition technique for whole-brain diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) studies in vivo. Higher field MRI systems are readily available and advantageous for acquiring DTI due to increased signal. One of the practical issues for DTI with single-shot echo-planar imaging at high-field is incomplete fat suppression resulting in a chemically shifted fa...
متن کاملDiffusion weighted MR nerve sheath imaging (DW-NSI) using diffusion-sensitized driven-equiliblium (DSDE)
INTRODUCTION: The use of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for the evaluation of peripheral nerves was recently introduced by Takahara et al. [1]. Since the signal from the nerves at DWI originates from water within the nerve sheath, this method can be referred to as diffusion-weighted nerve sheath imaging (DW-NSI). There are two major limitations related to echo-planar imaging (EPI)-based DW-NS...
