Abstract:
Chemical-shift selective imaging with an improved selective presaturation pulse can be used to suppress the fat signal uniformly across the entire abdominal cavity. The required magnetic field homogeneity is no higher than for a routine diagnostic scan. Therefore, no extra setup time for shimming is needed. The technique has been implemented on our clinical system for routine fat suppression scans.
