A wide variety of fat suppression and water–fat separation methods are used to suppress fat
signal and improve visualization of abnormalities. This article reviews the most commonly …

Gradient‐echo sequences are widely used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for
numerous applications ranging from angiography to perfusion to functional MRI. Compared …

Chemical shift based methods are often used to achieve uniform water–fat separation that is
insensitive to Bo inhomogeneities. Many spin‐echo (SE) or fast SE (FSE) approaches …

Approximately 130 attendees convened on February 19–22, 2012 for the first ISMRM‐
sponsored workshop on water–fat imaging. The motivation to host this meeting was driven …

The noise analysis for three‐point decomposition of water and fat was extended to account
for the uncertainty in the field map. This generalization leads to a nonlinear estimation …

Purpose: To retrospectively compare the diagnostic performance of 1.5-and 3.0-T magnetic
resonance (MR) imaging protocols for evaluating the articular cartilage of the knee joint in …

Background Quantitative measurement of T1 in the myocardium may be used to detect both
focal and diffuse disease processes such as interstitial fibrosis or edema. A partial volume …

Myocardial fat is often seen at cardiac computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance
(MR) imaging of healthy adults and patients with myocardial diseases. Physiologic …

Purpose To characterize the effect of fat on modified Look–Locker inversion recovery
(MOLLI) T1 maps of the liver. The balanced steady‐state free precession (bSSFP) sequence …

Cardiac MRI has become a routinely used imaging modality in the diagnosis of
cardiovascular disease and is considered the clinically accepted gold standard modality for …
