Abstract:
Echo-planar imaging (EPI) is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique which provides MR images in, typically, 50-100 ms. The potential of EPI as an imaging modality for the liver has been investigated in volunteers and patients with liver disease. Images with improved quality are presented. Obtained at a field strength of 0.52 Tesla, these true unaveraged snap-shot images have larger data arrays, comprising 128 X 128 pixels.
