(SNR) of the Dixon method with those of the CHESS (Chemical Shift-Selective) technique …

Purpose To compare the effectiveness of fat suppression and the image quality of the Dixon
method with those of the chemical shift-selective (CHESS) technique in hands of normal …

PURPOSE: To assess the potential of two-point Dixon chemical shift magnetic resonance
imaging to achieve uniform fat suppression in the distal parts of the extremities. MATERIALS …

Background Incomplete fat suppression induced by magnetic field inhomogeneity is difficult
to compensate for with hardware magnetic-field shimming. Purpose To evaluate the …

Fat suppression is an important technique in musculoskeletal imaging to improve the
visibility of bone-marrow lesions; evaluate fat in soft-tissue masses; optimize the contrast-to …

Purpose: To compare fat‐suppressed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) quality using
iterative decomposition of water and fat with echo asymmetry and least‐squares estimation …

When chemical shift selective (CHESS) imaging is used with magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) for simultaneous imaging of both hands for the evaluation of rheumatoid arthritis, the …

Dixon techniques are part of the methods used to suppress the signal of fat in MRI. They
present many advantages compared with other fat suppression techniques including (1) the …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study is to describe and to implement a new fast three-point
Dixon MR imaging sequence with online image reconstruction, and to compare this …

Purpose To develop a phased‐array coil‐compatible, fast three‐point Dixon (TPD)
