Abdominal and Pelvic Imaging at 3T
نویسنده
چکیده
3 Tesla magnets are no longer just a research tool used almost exclusively for brain imaging. Clinical 3T imaging of the abdomen and pelvis is now feasible and being performed worldwide. There is a huge push particularly from the industry to “upgrade” to 3T with units designed for whole body imaging. While in theory, 3T imaging offers higher signal to noise, increased spectral separation and improved image contrast, can these advantages be realized in the setting of the busy clinical practice? If so, is 3T imaging better than 1.5 T for body imaging?

Comparison of non-contrast fresh blood imaging and quiescent inflow single-shot imaging at abdominal/pelvic station at 3T
Background Despite increasing application of non-contrast techniques Fresh Blood Imaging (FBI) and Quiescent Inflow Single-Shot (QISS) in the evaluation of peripheral arterial disease (PAD), imaging of abdominal/pelvic station remains a challenge. B0 and B1 inhomogeneity, motion artefacts and poor ECG trigger may diminish the image quality and reduce the diagnostic performance. In this study, w...
