We developed and tested an automated sub-minute 3D dual-echo MR imaging technique
producing fat-water color-encoded labeled images of the entire spine. Twenty-one subjects …

Background and Purpose Multi-parametric MRI of the entire spine is technologist-
dependent, time consuming, and often limited by inhomogeneous fat suppression. We …

Purpose To develop a phased‐array coil‐compatible, fast three‐point Dixon (TPD)
technique, and compare its performance in T2‐weighted spine imaging with that of the …

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 …

A new technique was developed to simultaneously acquire water and fat dual‐echo spin
echo images in a single acquisition period. Chemical shifts between water and fat images …

In 1984, Dixon published a first paper on a simple spectroscopic imaging technique for
water and fat separation. The technique acquires two separate images with a modified spin …

A method for suppressing fat in fast spin‐echo imaging with the three‐point Dixon technique
is described. The method differs from the three‐point Dixon method used in conventional …

Purpose To compare the iterative decomposition of water and fat with echo asymmetry and
least‐squares estimation (IDEAL) method with fat‐saturated T1‐weighted (T1W) and T2W …

Purpose To evaluate a prototype fast spin‐echo (FSE) triple‐echo Dixon (FTED) technique
for T2‐weighted spine imaging with and without fat suppression compared to conventional …

Objective: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most popular follow-up study for
patients who have undergone spinal surgery. However, the image quality often becomes …
