چکیده
Figure 2: Phantom images and separated fat-only and water-only images for (a) FTED, (b) nulling at RF, (c) nulling at the echo center. Flow-artifacts are effectively reduced in (b) and (c). Note that water tube in (a) and (b) was incorrectly separated into the fat-only image because the existing region growing algorithm cannot handle disconnected objects.

Fast spin-echo triple-echo dixon (fTED) technique for efficient T2-weighted water and fat imaging.
Previously published fast spin-echo (FSE) implementations of a Dixon method for water and fat separation all require multiple scans and thus a relatively long scan time. Further, the minimum echo spacing (esp), a time critical for FSE image quality and scan efficiency, often needs to be increased in order to bring about the required phase shift between the water and fat signals. This work propo...
متن کاملSingle session whole body T2-weighted and T1-weighted MRI (both with and without fat suppression)
Introduction: An MRI study is commonly used for examining the local extent of a disease and often consists of acquiring images of the same region with different image contrasts. Using a moving tabletop and without re-positioning the patient, MRI has also been shown to be a feasible tool for whole body screening or staging of a disease [1-3]. In this regard, whole body MRI is potentially more ad...
متن کاملImproving 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...
متن کاملComparison of Three-Dimensional Double-Echo Steady-State Sequence with Routine Two-Dimensional Sequence in the Depiction of Knee Cartilage
Introduction: There are some routine two-dimensional sequences, including short tau inversion recovery (STIR), T2-weighted fast-spin echo (T2W-FSE), and proton-density fast spin-echo for diagnosing osteoarthritis and lesions of the knee cartilage. However, these sequences have some disadvantages, such as long scan time, inadequate spatial resolution, and suboptimal tis...
متن کاملSimultaneous Echo Refocusing EPI (SER-EPI) using Spin Echoes
Fig. 1: General scheme for spin echo based SER-EPI sequence: The standard SER-scheme is extended not only by the refocusing 180 RF-pulse but also by a gradient pulse in phase-encoding direction. This gradient prephasing pulse aligns the gradient echo with the spin echo of the first excitation pulse s1. Fig.2: k-space data of spin-echo based SER-EPI sequence: Phase-encode direction is top to bot...
