چکیده

We present our initial experience with the use of a modified 3-point Dixon technique to obtain reliable fast spin-echo T1- and T2-weighted fat-suppressed images in the soft-tissue neck. The method has less sensitivity to magnetic field inhomogeneity than frequency-selective radiofrequency fat saturation and provides uniform fat suppression even near tissue-tissue and air-tissue interfaces. Clinical advantages and limitations of the method are discussed and several examples are shown.

Iterative decomposition of water and fat with echo asymmetry and least-squares estimation (IDEAL) fast spin-echo imaging of the ankle: initial clinical experience.

OBJECTIVE Reliable, uniform fat suppression is important. Multiple approaches currently exist, many of which suffer from either suboptimal signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), or the inability to obtain consistent fat suppression around the ankle joint. Our purpose was to test iterative decomposition of water and fat with echo asymmetry and the least-squares estimation (IDEAL) method in combination wit...

Fast spin-echo imaging of the neck: comparison with conventional spin-echo, utility of fat suppression, and evaluation of tissue contrast characteristics.

PURPOSE To determine whether fast spin-echo sequences could replace conventional spin-echo methods in the evaluation of head and neck neoplasms and associated adenopathy and to evaluate differences in tissue contrast characteristics between conventional spin-echo and fast spin-echo examinations of head and neck disease. METHODS Twenty-seven patients with squamous cell carcinoma were imaged on...

Improving fat-suppressed T2-weighted imaging of the head and neck with 2 fast spin-echo dixon techniques: initial experiences.

Two modified fast spin-echo (FSE) techniques (a 2-point and a single-scan triple-echo Dixon) were used for T2-weighted imaging of the head and neck in 7 patients along with conventional FSE with fat saturation. Both Dixon techniques provided consistent and more uniform fat suppression (FS) than conventional FSE. The 2-point Dixon technique was noted to be more susceptible to motion artifacts. T...

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...
