WHAT?
One fat suppression approach based on the difference between the precessional frequencies of fat and water protons.
WHY?
To get a more efficient and reproducible fat signal suppression technique to improve visualization of lesions.
WHEN?
- For varied clinical applications, initially focused on abdominal regions, and then extended to musculoskeletal imaging, such as the neck, spine, the knee, brachial plexus, and the hands.
- Useful when conventional fat suppression technique is not reliable (large FOV, neck and plexus, off-center imaging...)
